“Adult (type of species).—Above tawny-rufous, the feathers mesially 
dark brown, giving a closely striped appearance; the wing-coverts rather 
darker, some of the scapulars and greater-coverts externally creamy buff, 
forming a kind of longitudinal bar down the latter; entire head and 
auricular-tufts colored like the back, but somewhat more narrowly 
streaked ; quills dull brown, tipped with fulvous, more plainly on the 
secondaries, the primaries spotted on the outer and barred on the inner 
web with pale tawny-rufous, the bars more distinct on the secondaries ; 
tail-feathers dull brown, tipped with fulvous and crossed with a few bars 
of tawny-buff, the middle feathers nearly uniform, with only one bar and 
indications of a second, the bars gradually increasing in number toward 
the outer tail-feather, which has five bars on the inner web, and is ex- 
ternally tawny-buff; lores white, the anterior bristles black toward tip; 
sides of face tawny, with white shafts; facial disk tawny, with central 
streaks of brown to the feathers, which are fulvous at base; under surface 
of body buffy white, longitudinally streaked with dark brown centers to 
the feathers, each mesial streak having a narrow edging of rufous on each 
side, and decreasing in width toward the abdomen and under tail-coverts, 
the tarsal feathers entirely uniform; under wing-coverts buffy white, the 
outermost longitudinally spotted with dark brown, the greater series 
whitish at base, brown at tip, resembling the inner lining of the wing.
