Adult male in breeding-plumage. Similar to 0. mongolus, but 

 paler in general colour, and especially on the chest-band, which is 

 lighter than in the last-named species. Specially distinguished by 

 the black band on the forehead being united to the black ear-coverts, 

 the white of the lores becoming gradually merged in the black of 

 the forehead, which is therefore completely black with no white 

 loral patch at all : " bill black ; feet ashy black ; iris brown " 

 (F. Stoliczka). Total length 7'5 inches, culmen - 7, wing 4*85, 

 tail 1-8, tarsus 1-25. 



Adult female. Similar to the male in plumage. Total length 

 7 inches, culmen - 7, wing 5'15, tail 1*8, tarsus 1*25. 



Adidt in winter plumage. Similar to the winter plumage of 

 0. mongolus, but with a slightly longer tarsus. 



Hab. Breeds in the Kirghis Steppes, and probably throughout 

 Central Asia, wintering in Africa, India, and the Malay Peninsula 

 and Islands.
