 smaller and wanting the white rump of the latter species ; the 

 rump as well as the mesial upper tail-coverts dusky blackish ; the 

 lateral upper tail-co/erts white broadly barred with black, exactly 

 like the tail-feathers, all of which have broad black bars ; under

 distinguished by being more uniform above with scarcely any white 

 spots, the head uniform and not streaked with white ; eyelid and a 

 supra-loral streak white ; lower throat, fore-neck, and sides of 

 neck ashy brown, slightly mottled with darker brown spots or bars.

 notched or spotted with light rufous brown ; under surface of body 

 pure white, the lower throat streaked with brown, and the sides 

 of the fore-neck and of the breast nearly uniform dark brown.
