Description. — Adult male: forehead, crest, auriculars, and anterior 

 half of throat and malar region soiled white; broad superciliary stripe, 

 beginning above the eye, antique brown, bordered above by a narrow 

 and irregular line of black which reaches the hindneck; nape medially 

 dull cinnamon buff, obscurely mottled with dusky; sides of the neck 

 marked with black and white, the feathers being white, with triangular 

 black terminal spots, these spots tending to form a collar on the hind- 

 neck; upper parts sepia brown, tinged with russet anteriorly, vermicu- 

 lated with black and irregularly mottled with black and argus brown 

 centers to the feathers; scapulars, tertials, and wing-coverts with some 

 white spots and irregular white edgings; upper tail-coverts and tail hair 

 brown, finely mottled with soiled white, the markings tending to irregu- 

 lar bars; wings hair brown, the secondaries obscurely mottled externally 

 with dull buffy; under wing-coverts hair brown, tipped with soiled white; 

 posterior half of throat and malar region antique brown or chestnut, 

 succeeded by a partly concealed collar of white spots; breast and sides 

 hazel, everywhere marked with rounded twin terminal spots of white 

 and subterminal bars of black, these spots becoming larger on the flanks, 

 where they run several to each feather; chest and upper abdomen ochra- 

 ceous buff medially, barred irregularly with black, each feather of these 

 parts being barred with black and white and broadly tipped with ochra- 

 ceous buff; lower abdomen plain buffy; under tail-coverts black, with 

 white spots on each web. 



Female similar to the male above, but the dark markings in general 

 coarser; forehead and crest deep brown; super ciliaries indistinct, ochra- 

 ceous buff streaked with black; throat and malar region ochraceous 

 or buffy, streaked with black; under surface from the throat down spotted 

 with white and barred with black as in the male, but with very little 

 rufescent color in evidence; chest and abdomen strongly tinged with 

 buffy medially; dark markings of the under parts all coarser posteriorly 

 and laterally.
