Adult male. Yery similar to C. canorus, from which it differs in 

 the colouring of the bill and in the amount of the white marks on 

 the tail, which latter has a rather well marked dark subterminal 

 bar ; the bars on the breast generally a trifle narrower ; outer 

 tail-feather with about six complete white bars, indicated but not 

 complete on the remainder of the feathers, and diminishing in 

 extent towards the centre cues, where they are replaced by large 

 spots, much larger than in C. canorus ; basal third of the upper 

 mandible and two-thirds of the lower mandible yellow : " iris and 

 legs yellow" (T. E. Buckley). Total length 12"5 inches, culmen 1, 

 wing 8-5, tail 6-S, tarsus 0-9. 



Adult female. Probably differs in plumage from the male in the 

 same manner as iu C. canorus, as some specimens, apparently females,
