 feet pale brown ; toes dark brown. 



The series procured by Mr. Bury belongs to the southern 

 form which has been separated from D. rufifrons by 

 Dr. Sharpe (P. Z. S. 1895, p. 482). They have the outer 

 web of the outer tail-feathers white ; but very few have 

 white edgings to the wing-coverts and inner secondaries, 

 the immature birds shewing no trace of it ; no doubt the 

 white edges soon become worn. In the three examples from 

 Burao the chestnut on the head is very bright, and extends 

 onto the nape.
