Most nearly allied to F. levaillanti^ but the middle of the 

 throat is suffused with chestnut ; the feathers of the superciliary 

 stripes and the stripes from the gape along the sides of the 

 throat are pa^e rufous, with narrow black edgings, very different 

 from the boldly marked black and white stripes in F. kvaillanti. 

 The patch of black and white feathers so conspicuous on the 

 fore neck and upper part of the chest in F. kvaillanti are 

 represented by a much smaller patch, with the ground colour 

 rufous and white The breast and under parts are buff barred 

 with black, especially on the sides and flanks ; the chestnut 

 markings, so conspicuous in F. levaillanii, being at most 

 merely represen'.ed by one or two scattered red spots on the 

 outside flank feathers. Total length, about 12*0 inches; cul- 

 men, i"45; wing, 6-8; lail, 3T; tarsus, 2'o.
