This is a very distinct species, and may be known by its 

 light ochreous brown crown and nape. Jerdon (B. of 

 India, i. p. 278) states that it is generally spread throughout 

 the plains of India from the extreme south to the north-west 

 provinces. Capt. E. A. Butler in his 'Catalogue of Birds of 

 the Southern Portion of the Bombay Presidency,^ 1880, p. 22, 

 says that it occurs sparingly along the Sahyadri range as far 

 north as Khandala, and that it has been obtained at Maha- 

 baleshvar. Savant- vadi, Ratnagiri, in the Goa forests, and 

 on the hiUs west of Belgaum.
