the neck of the adult bird is more or less completely clothed with 

 feathers up to the nape. There is such a specimen in the British 

 Museum, from the Deccan, and that the bird is fuUy adult is proved 

 by its white quiUs. Many other adult birds have remains of white 

 feathers on the neck, the black marking on the primaries is 

 extremely irregular, and is mostly developed in immature birds ; it 

 is sometimes represented by a black tip to the quills, at other times 

 by a broad black line along the end of either web. Occasionally 

 immature birds may be recognized by the black shafts to the 

 primaries, although they have otherwise the bare head and neck of 

 the adults 



Young birds have the head and neck blackish, more or less streaked 

 with white, and have a good deal of blackish at the ends of the 

 bastard wing-feathers, primary-coverts, and quills, the latter always 

 with black shafts : " bare skin aloug wiug-bones black " ( V. Ball).
