Although resembling oaxacw in general appearance, adusta is nmch 
lighter al)ove and more reddish on the back; the yellow of the throat

from actia by the conspicuously lighter and more uniform upper 
surface, the nape especiall}' being very pale, and the back reddish 
instead of blackish. 
The 3"oung of this race are apparently nearest like those of oaxacw.,
