640 PODARGIDJ.. 



Adult female. The female of this species is not so entirely different 

 in colour from the male as in most of the other species of this 

 genus, but is much more reddish and lighter. Of the same size as 

 the male. 



Young. Younger birds are, according to the sex, dark brown or 

 reddish brown and much like the adult birds, but the characteristic 

 whitish spots on the greater wing-coverts are only indicated and 

 are obsolete in quite young birds. In this state they are very 

 similar to the young of B. affinis, but the colour of the lower abdo- 

 men being almost hke that of adult specimens, and generally, at 

 least in females, the bars on the tail not reaching the shaft, as 

 is generally the case in B. affiais, may serve to distinguish them. 



Hab. Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo. The type is said 

 to be from Java, but this is very doubtful.
