also on the inner web ; secondaries regularly barred with black and 

 rufous on the outer web ; bastard-wing, primary-coverts, and greater 

 wing-coverts barred with black and rufous on the outer web ; 

 marginal under wing-coverts brown, edged with rufous, the central 

 ones rufous, the last row greyish brown : bill horn-brown, base of 

 lower mandible yellow ; feet apparently orange ; iris dark brown. 

 Total length about 10'5 inches, wing O-o, culmen 1-1, tarsus I'o. 



Some specimens have the mesial black part of the feathers of the 

 back more extended than others. 



Young. Similar to the adult, but the feathers of the breast with 

 broad black crescentic marks ; the up])er wing-coverts less freckled, 

 rufous, with black bars and whitish marks. 



Taczanowski has already remarked that Peruvian birds differ 

 somewhat from Ecuadorian. In the specimens in the Museum, 

 d and e, the black bars of the secondaries are comparatively 

 narrower, and the innermost secondaries (tertiaries) are without 

 that subterminal black bar which is so conspicuous in our specimens 

 from Ecuador.
