Length, 4 to 42; expanse, 6:25 to 6-4; tail, 1-4 to 1:6; wing, 
2 to 2:15; tarsus, 0°68 to 0°71; bill at front, 0:27 to 0:3. . 
Bill black, in some paler or greenish-horny at base beneath ; 
irides brown ; legs and feet black. 
__Lores brownish-white ; a comparatively pure and very narrow 
white streak runs from the nostrils over the lores and eyes, but 
not beyond; the whole upper surface is dull earthy-brown, 
with in some a faintly olivaceous-rufescent tinge on the back, 
most conspicuous on the rump; the quills and tail area 
moderately dark hair-brown, narrowly margined on the outer 
webs with pale olivaceous-brown, much the same color as the 
upper parts ; the secondaries are very narrowly margined at the 
tips with albescent ; the whole lower surface is albescent, tinged 
with very pale fulvous-fawn, or earthy-brown, more strongly 
so in some specimens than in others; the sides and flanks more 
strongly so in all; in some specimens the sides and flanks 
are pale earthy-brown; the wing-lining and azxillaries are 
white, with at times the faintest possible fulvous or brownish 
tinge. 
Mr Hume, the discoverer of this species, says: “This tiny Leaf 
Hunter, the smallest of the whole group, is not uncommon along 
the banks of the Indus and throughout Upper Sind, wherever 
thick clumps of babool are met with.”
