 feather of the wings and scapulars tipped with a spot of very pale 

 cinereous white, with a point running upwards, somewhat trian- 

 gular ; quills and tail black ; the feathers of the first tipped with 

 cinereous white, those of the last with ferrugineous white, and 

 even at the end : belly, thighs, and vent dusky black ; the legs are
