At the time that the description of this bird was prepared, 
Thad not (it now appears) seen a full grown specimen. When

slate color, and below white, closely banded on the throat, 
breast, and belly, by reddish brown transverse lines. The tail 
is dusky brown, with four broad transverse blackish bands, 
and two or more blotches or partial transverse broad white
