 is frequenting the undergrowth of the high forest and has a 

 nice sweet note. — Iris black, bill black, feet pale flesh- 

 color or dirty white. 



The adult female, having not been described as yet, 

 resembles the adult male in the color of the lower sur- 

 face, but the upper surface is olive-brown instead of black, 

 the longitudinal white band on the wing much less dis- 

 tinct, and the white superciliar stripe wanting. The tail is 

 black with white bases to all but the innermost tail- 

 feathers, like in the male. Immature birds are reddish 

 brown above and have the greater and median wing coverts 

 broadly tipped with rufous.
