 xxiii. p. 183 (1894). 



A male and female adult from Catanduanes in the brownish- 

 buflf plumage of autumn and winter. Neither Dr. Sharpe 

 in the above work, nor any other author, so far as I am 

 aware, make the slightest reference to the autumn change of 

 plumage which is so marked in the male, only the breeding- 

 dress being described, in which the whole of the hind neck 

 and underparts, as well as the general colour of the upper 

 parts, are black. In the fully adult male before me the whole 

 of the underparts from the throat downwards are pale buff
