Crown and tertiaries cinerascent, minutely mottled and marked 
with a stripe of black dashes along the middle of the crown; 
upper range of scapularies black, more developed in the male, and 
bordered more broadly externally with rufescent white ; a broad 
white patch in front of the neck, as in several allied species; a 
double spot, or interrupted band of white on both webs of the 
first four primaries contracted and rufescent in the female; 
two outer tail feathers broadly tipped with white in the male, 
tinged with fulvous, or rufescent, in the female ; rictorial bristles 
white at the base, black tipped; altogether the females are 
usually paler, more brown, and less ashy than the males.
