Macropvgia cinnamomea, Salvad. Ann. Mus. Civ. Gen. (2) xii. p. 140 

 (1892) (Engano). 



Pale rufous-cinnamon, edges of the feathers of a deeper cinnamon 

 colour : upper part of the head more or less washed with vinous ; 

 feathers of the throat with dusky lateral edges ; back and rump 

 more or less barred with dusky, the bars very narrow and almost 

 obsolete ; wings cinnamon, minutely freckled with brown ; quills 

 cinnamon, with the apical portion of the inner web dusky brown ; 

 three central pairs of rectrices greyish brown, fourth pair tinged with 

 rufous, the two outer pairs pale cinnamon, with a broad subapical 

 black bar extending towards the base of the inner web : " iris red ; 

 bill and feet dusky brown " (Modigliani). Total length about 13'5 

 inches, wing 8-1, tail 7-2, bill 0-8, tarsus 0-95. 



This species is very remarkable on account of the pale cinnamon- 

 colour of its plumage, and for the complete absence of any trace of 

 metallic reflections ; it seems allied to M. rujipennis from the 

 Andamans and Nicobars, having the central tail-feathers greyish 

 brown ; but it differs in the much paler colouring, in the upper 

 wing-coverts being pale cinnamon with brighter edges, while in 

 M. rujipennis they are dusky with cinnamon edges, and in the com- 

 plete absence of dusky bars from the underparts.
