 short dark brown tips. Crown, occiput, and nape of neck pale

 stripe ; muz/.le dark brown, slightly contrasting with pale crown. 

 Throat, breast, belly, and flanks approximately broccoli-biown ; 

 sides of neck and forene(jk cream-white, forming a ruff strongly 

 contrasting in colour with throat and breast. — Another adult male 

 ((jold Coast, December, 11.1.22.1) differs by the darker (more 

 blackish-brown) tinge of the brown element of the coloration of 

 the upperside, and the deeper (more ochre-butt) colour of the ruff. — - 

 In a subadult male (J3.2.4.44, January, practically full-grown, but 

 ringer joints uneonsididated) the ruff is beginning to appear on 

 cither side of the neck.

 above-described adult male from Bitye, but without any trace of a
