Adult male. Differs from the male of C. sallai in having many of 

 the black markings on the upper parts in the form of round black 

 spots ; the middle of the chest and breast pale buff tipped with 

 rufous, and the sides with buff; feathers of the flanks chestnut, 

 somewhat irregularly barred with black, shading into grey towards 

 the margins. Total length 8-3 inches, wing 5-3, tail 2-2, tarsus 1-25, 

 middle toe and claw 1"5. 



The young male has none of the black pattern on the chin, 

 throat, and sides of the head, these parts being nearly white, while 

 the chestnut on the breast, belly, and flanks is much paler ; the 

 feathers of the upper parts are mostly black barred with rufous buff, 

 and with wide buff or rufous-buff shaft-stripes edged on either side 

 with black. 



Adult female. Scarcely differs from the female of C. montezumce, 

 but the general ground-colour of the upper parts is black, finely 

 barred with rufous and mottled towards the tips of the feathers 

 with sandy, and the outer wing-coverts are more distinctly barred 

 with black. Total length 8 inches, wing 5, tail 2-2, tarsus 1-25, 

 middle toe and claw 1'45. 



An immature female has most of the underparts pale rufous buff 

 with small spots of black, the adult vinaceous feathers being 

 partially represented on the sides and flanks.
