each feather , leaving a black terminal bar of one mM. in 

 width and thus giving the upper surface the appearance 

 of being rusty red and banded across with black, with 

 the exception of rump and upper tail-coverts, which are 

 entirely rusty red. Quills and wing-coverts black , the 

 primaries narrowly bordered on the outer web and tipped 

 with silvery gray , the secondaries broadly with rusty red , 

 upper wing-coverts with a cordiform or oval spot , sur- 

 rounded by jet black, on the outermost feather of the 

 greater and median series this spot is pure white instead 

 of red. No white alar speculum, on account of the quills 

 not being sufficiently developed. The tail-feathers are 

 sooty black, the outermost pair very broadly, the next 

 one faintly tipped with white. Lores blackish , superciliary 

 streak pale rusty, a ring of feathers round the eye white, 

 cheeks grayish rusty , chin and upper throat whitish , sides 

 and lower throat fulvous, each feather tipped with black, 

 flanks and under tail-coverts fulvous , breast and abdomen 

 whitish. Iris brown , bill black , feet pale yellow.
