The colour of the upperside and of the breast of this form 

 seems to vary slightly, but Nos. 2 and 3 are of a drab-brown 

 rather than of a sandy-buff. 



The young bird (No. 12) as compared with the young of 

 typical C. gallicus has a much darker upperside, with a 

 more black and white appearance, the feathers of the top of 

 the head and back being of a very dark brown with transverse 

 bars of pale buff. The wing-coverts are pale buff barred 

 with dark brown. The tail-feathers are ashy-grey on the 

 basal half and buff barred with dark brown on the lower half. 

 The feathers of the upper breast are buff, lightly barred with 

 brown. The axillaries are ashy-grey as in the adult.
