3rd quill with a white tip, followed by a black bar, then an irregular 

 white mirror formed by the black of the inner web reaching the shaft, 

 and then a large basal patch of white ou both sides of the shaft (see 

 cut) : in exceptionally mature birds, however, the black does not 

 extend to the shaft, so that the white is continuous to the sub- 

 terminal band, and moreover the outer quills have minute white tips ;
