92.5’ is a typographical error for 62.5, but the bill appears to be 2 mm. 
shorter. Coloration similar to that of the male and female of P. caudatus 
Grant, from which it may be reggiily distinguished by the shortness of 
the tail, 81 mm. in the female of P. griseipectus and 86.36 in the female 
of P. caudatus. The outermost tail-feather is slender and abortive, 
measuring 32 mm. in length; tarsus with six scutes; rictal bristles 
scarcely discernible; plumage soft and loose, the feathers of the back and 
rump 35 mm. in length, with gray bases and fluffy aftershafts; webs of 
rectrices decomposed and abraded apically; general color above burnt 
umber, washed with vandyke-brown on rump and upper tail-coverts ; 
tail darker; wing-quills brownish black, the outer webs margined with 
the same color as the upper parts and extending to the outer webs of the 
under side of wing; head darker, inclining to sepia, with a dirty grayish 
supraorbital stripe; sides of throat, breast, and a wash down center of 
abdomen mouse-gray ; chin and middle of throat white, each feather with 
a grayish middle; sides, crissum, and under tail-coverts like the back; 
breast tinged with gray. Iris hazel; bill with maxilla black; mandible 
grayish horn-color; feet and claws sepia-brown (from fresh specimens). 
Length, 176; alar expanse, 200; wing, 63; tail, 81; bill, measured from 
base of mandible, 14; bill from nostril, 8.5; tarsus, 14: middle toe with 
claw, 23.” (Mearns.) ;
