Adult male. General colour above olive-brown, slightly washed 

 with rufous and finely vermiculated with black ; the scapulars and 

 outer secondaries are marked very similarly to those of the other 

 species, and the rest of the quiUs are like those of 0. le^icokemus ; 

 lores, superciliary stripes, chin, throat, and underparts deep rust- 

 red, rather paler towards the middle of the breast and belly ; a 

 small patch of white on the car-coverts ; the thighs, vent, and under 

 tail-coverts rufous brown vermiculated with black, and the latter 

 edged with rufous buff. Total length 11 inches, wing 5-9, tail 2*4, 

 tarsus 2, middle toe and claw 2-15. 



Adult female. Differs from the male in having the breast and rest 

 of underparts dark grey, shading into blackish grey on the flanks. 

 Total length 10*4 inches, wing 5-6, tail 2-2, tarsus 1-8, middle toe 

 and claw 1'9. 



Less mature males have the feathers of the wing-coverts and 

 scapulars spotted with buff at the extremity, some of the feathers 

 of the mantle blotched or marked with black, and the ridge of the 

 culmen and the tip of the beak orange-red. 



Less mature females have the grey feathers of the breast and belly 

 mixed here and there with rust-colour. 



It would thus appear that the young females in their first 

 plumage resemble the male parent and have the whole of the 

 underparts rust-coloured, and that the grey plumage of the adult 

 female gradually takes the place of the rufous ; for in the spe- 

 cimens before us aU the new feathers which are being moulted-in 

 are grey, while some of the old rufous feathers appear to be changing 

 to grey without a moult.
