that the whole breast presents a greyish 

 appearance. The spots on this part are 

 more numerous. The size is also smaller. 



The female differs from the male in 

 the same manner as the female Painted 

 Bush-Quail differs from the male of 

 that species. She resembles the female 

 Painted Bush-Quail very closely in- 

 deed, and the two are hardly separable 

 except by actual comparison with each 

 other. The female Blewitt's Bush- 

 Quail has, however, the lower plumage 

 a pale greyish rufous, and not a clear 

 rufous as in the female of the other 

 species, and there are more spots on the 

 breast, these, in most cases, extending 

 across the breast. The size is also 

 smaller.
