rather paler in front ; upper back, wing-coverts, and scapulars 

 brown, with paler brownish-grey middles to the feathers ; lower 

 back and rump much like those of the adult ; upper tail-coverts 

 mostly brown ; underparts white, the sides of the breast, belly, and 

 flanks mixed with brownish. The quills resemble those of the 

 adult. As age increases the top of the head aud feathers bordering 

 the pouch become mostly white and the underparts largely mixed 

 with greyish-brown feathers, with indistinct whitish shaft-stripes. 



Birds in fhejirsi jjJumar/e resemble the above ; but the feathers 

 of the back, wing-coverts, and scapulars are brown, edged with 

 pale brownish buff. 



Nearly mature birds (probably those in the third year) have the 

 upper and under parts like those of the adult, but do not assume 

 the dark velvety-brown neck in the breeding-season, these parts 

 remaining white like those of the adult in winter-plumage ; the pale 

 straw-coloured feathers of the head are intermixed with a few dark 

 brown plumes characteristic of the immature plumage.
