third, and equal to the seventh; the third, fourth, and fifth, 
of nearly equal length, and the longest in the wing; secondaries, 
the same; tertiaries, the same, tipped with dull white. The 
tail, which is slightly indented at the end, and extends a little 
beyond the wings, is brownish grey, the feathers margined 
with greenish; underneath grey, with white shafts; upper and 
under tail coverts, greenish buff; legs, toes, and claws, very 
dark lead-colour; the latter are rather thick. 
The female resembles the male. The black on the head is 
less glossy, and does not extend so far down, and the white 
is less pure: the grey of the back is tinged with greenish 
brown. 
The young resemble the female: the first feathers have a 
tinge of green.
