 edges of inner secondaries, and 

 inner edges of all the quills, 

 with inside of wing white. 

 Outer primaries edged with 

 gray, the inner with olive. 

 Tail feathers brown, entirely 

 encircled by a narrow edge of 

 white. Under parts to middle 

 of body, a line from npstrils 

 over eye, eyelids and patch beneath the eye (bordered behind by the olive of 

 neck) bright gamboge yellow ; rest of under parts white, the flanks faintly
