Adult male. Differs chiefly from the male of 0. virginianus in 

 having the general tone of the plumage darker, the top of the head 

 much blacker, and the black markings on the rest of the upper 

 parts coarser and more marked ; the buff edges of the outer 

 secondaries and scapulars much narrower ; the ear-coverts black, 

 and the band from the gape passing uninterruptedlj' across them 

 round the base of the throat, where it usually widens out con- 

 siderably, often extending over the upper chest and generally 

 taking the place of the vinaceous rufous which predominates in 

 0. vir/jmianus. The black bands on the rest of the underparts are 

 much coarser and more strongly marked. Total length 8-6 inches, 

 wing 4'3, tail 2-3, tarsus 1'2, middle toe and claw 1*3.5.
