 and by the slightly shorter tarsus. Total length 5*7 inches, culmen 

 - 7, wing 3-8, tail 1*65, tarsus 0'75, middle toe and claw 0"7.

 brighter chestnut colour, with which the feathers are broadly 

 margined ; the crown is blackish, washed with rufous and mottled 

 with grey margins ; the forehead and eyebrow are shaded with 

 bright rufous, and this colour occupies the whole of the sides of the

 feet black ; iris nearly black " (Dybowski). Total length 5 - 3 inches, 

 culmen 0'7, wing 3'85, tail 1*7, tarsus - 75, middle toe and claw 0"75.

 from the male, but is perhaps scarcely so rufous, and retains a little 

 more of the hoary-grey of the winter plumage : " iris brown " 

 (A. H. Everett). Total length 5 inches, culmen - 7, wing 3-9, tail 

 1*7, tarsus 0*75, middle toe and claw - 7.
