Adult female. Resembles the adult female of L. ignita, but is easily 

 distinguished bj' having the ground-colour of the lower back, rump, 

 upper tail-coverts, wing-coverts, and scapulars paler than that of 

 the neck * and mantle ; the outer webs of the secondaries chestnut, 

 mottled with black, and the tail-feathers dark chestnut, the 

 middle pairs being mottled with black ; soft parts as in the male, 

 but not so bright. Total length 24 inches, wing 10, tail 7'6,

In younger specimens the black vermiculations, especially on the 

 greater wing-coverts and secondaries, are much stronger.

 front of the neck ; this peculiarity is also incipiently represented in a female of 

 L. ignita.
