Adult male. Similar to P. plebeius, but rather smaller, and with a 

 whitish mark above the lores ; the throat, centre of breast, and 

 abdomen pure white, as well as the thighs : " bill, legs, and feet 

 yellow; iris hazel" (L. Fraser). Total length 4 - 8 inches, culmen 

 - 4, wing 2-05, tail 1-9, tarsus 0*7. 



I have not seen a grey-plumaged female, the birds so marked in 

 the collection being all streaked on the under surface, In this 

 streaked plumage there is a visibly paler appearance than in the 

 corresponding stages of P. plebeius. 



The white eyelid, from which the species is named, is not a 

 distinctive character, as P. plebeius has it also, but the latter bird 

 is ashy above the lores, and shows no white mark. P. ocularis is 

 distinctly whiter below ; but the two species are very closely allied.
