Adult male. Upper parts very similar to those of 0. guianensis, 

 but the mantle is brown or rufous brown blotched with black and 

 with pale buff shafts ; the markings on the outer webs of the pri- 

 maries are white ; and the chin, throat, and underparts are dark 

 grey. Bill black ; legs and feet greyish black. Total length 

 11 inches, wing 6*2, tail 3'1, tarsus 1"S, middle toe and claw 1*95. 



Adult female. Similar in plumage to themale, but rather smaller. 



Immature birds have the pale shaft-streaks on the mantle wider 

 and more conspicuous than the adults ; the black shaft-spots, too, 

 on the lower back and rump are much coarser, and the grey under- 

 parts are washed with reddish brown. 



In quite young speciriieiis the shaft-stripes of the mantle are still 

 wider ; the lower back, rump, and upper tail-coverts are devoid of 

 black shaft-spots ; the chest and underparts are rufous brown, 

 marked and barred with black and buff. The upper mandible 

 is orange ; the lower yellowish. 



Hah. Eastern South America, ranging north to Bahia, west to 

 Goyaz, and soulii to i\io Grande del Sur.
