 molar usually with three re-entrant angles on inner side ; dorsal

 evident though not conspicuous contrast.

 broccoli-brown and inconspicuously darkened by a sprinkling of 

 black-tipped hairs ; the resulting colour approaching chestnut, or 

 something lighter and more yellowish. Face, cheeks and sides
