Adult male and female. General colour above brownish glossed 

 with bronze-green ; feathers of the top of the head and neck more or 

 less distinctly washed and margined with grey ; lower chest cinna- 

 mon, shading into rufous on the breast and into chestnut on the flanks, 

 thighs, and under tail-coverts. Total length 24 inches, wing 10-2, 

 tail 10, tarsus 2-6, middle toe and claw 2-7. 



Specimens vary somewhat inter se, some having the underparts 

 a good deal paler than others. I am inclined to think that these 

 differences may be due to age — they are apparently not due to 

 sex.
