Bill blackish above, pinky grey below ; tarsi and feet pale 

 horn-coloured ; iris brown.

 throat, breast, and sides of body; the feathers of the back 

 and wings are black with paler margins. 



[The habits of this species are so similar to those of 

 Brachyspiza pileata, except that the former nests in the 

 grass and low shrubs more than about houses, that what 

 applies to the one would also serve for the other. — W. F.]
