Specimen (a) is really a male and has been wrongly sexed. 

 Both these specimens are typical macii whereas in the Khasi Hills 

 I obtained D. m. atratus. Several birds, however, got by myself 

 on their nests both in Gauhati and Dibrugarh were all macii.

This specimen is a male.

This specimen has the upper back, scapulars and lesser wing 

 coverts a duller, darker maroon-brown than any specimen in the 

 British Museum, and there are also practically no pale streaks on 

 the upper back. The skin is a fairly good one and the differences 

 do not appear to be in any way due to faulty skinning, at the 

 same time it is hardly safe to create a sub-species on the strength 

 of this single specimen. In measurements it agrees with the 

 normal bird.
