Females, at least in some species, seem to betray immaturity by having their rufous plumage 

 traversed by dark irregular striie, and by the white markings of the adult being ill-defined and 

 not pure in colour ; males by having the white nuchal and gular collar- plumes indistinct, unde- 

 veloped, and sullied by tawny. Some importance has been attached to the fact that in occasional 

 examples of the genus the maxilla is found to overlap the maudibula. But this appearance seems 

 to be owing to the imperfect preparation of the skin.
