Several ex. of both sexes. ‘“Jrides red; legs and feet bluish 
flesh-colour. Found in the dry underwood where no weeds grow, 
flying from branch to branch.” 
The females are paler, not rufous above, and hardly so on the tail ; 
but of a greyish tinge, and with the breast below much paler.

One example, not differing materially from Eastern specimens. 
“Three Guava-trees in front of the house were attacked by a num- 
ber of caterpillars, which in twenty-four hours stripped off their 
leaves. These insects attracted two specimens of this bird. They 
were exceedingly active and elegant when hopping or running 
through the branches ; but their flight was heavy and laboured, their . 
short heavy wings being in strong contrast with their long light 
tail.”
