58 MANUAL OF PHILIPPINE BIRDS. 
Adult male.—Anterior half of head, sides of face, chin, and upper 
throat pearl-gray; a little lighter chin and forehead; hind crown and 
nape uniform dull reddish brown; rest of upper parts, including wing- 
coverts, earthy brown; neck and sides of neck decorated with sharply cut 
black and white bars (on hind neck washed with brown) ; above, the bars 
become obliterated posteriorly leaving the feathers uniform brown with 
black tips which persist to longest upper tail-coverts; below, along sides 
and flanks the black bars are reduced in width ; middle of breast vinaceous- 
pink; middle of abdomen, vent, and under tail-coverts white and un- 
barred, primaries and secondaries brown, narrowly edged with brown or 
gray; lining of wing cinnamon with narrow black bars; rectrices brown, 
all but middle pair with wide white tips. Iris pale blue; bill and bare 
skin about eyes blue; legs and feet dull red; nails light horn. Length, 
216 to 229. Five males yield the following measurements: Wing, 94: to 
100 (98); tail, 91 to 104 (96); exposed culmen, 14 to 15 (14.5); 
tarsus, 19 to 20 (19.5) ; middle toe with claw, 22 to 24 (23). 
Adult female.—Like the male; said to be less reddish on the occiput 
but this difference is not very obvious except where fully adult birds are 
compared. 
Young.—Above like the adult but bars continued from nape onto top 
of head; wing-coverts barred with brown, buff, and rusty brown; second- 
aries edged with rusty buff; inner webs of primary-coverts rusty brown ; 
no vinaceous-pink on breast which is barred like the sides. 
In the full-plumaged bird the bars encroach upon the pink area of 
breast and are more strongly developed on sides and flanks than in less 
mature individuals. In most specimens the primary-coverts are tipped 
with cinnamon but in fine plumage these converts are uniform brown 
and the primaries from third to eighth inclusive, are narrowly edged 
with red near their bases. 
The nest of this species is a frail mass of twigs with scarcely any 
hollow; it is placed on the branch of a bush, in a small tree, or according 
to Whitehead, among hanging creepers. Near Mariveles, Bataan, a nest 
with fresh eggs was found February 27, 1902. The two oval eggs are 
pure white. 
The barred dove, while one of the commonest species in Luzon, occurs 
but rarely in other islands of the Archipelago. It is often found feeding 
in rice-fields after the grain has been harvested and is brought into the 
Manila markets from neighboring towns. 
Subfamily PHABIN 4. 
Genus CHALCOPHAPS Gould, 1843. 
Bill slender; wing short; tail short and slightly rounded, its feathers 
wide; tarsal envelope entire, with no division into plates or scales; 
wings and mantle largely bronze-green.
