Hab. Southern slope of the Himalayas from Chamba east- 

 wards as far as Sikhim, and possibly the Naga Hills, ranging 

 from 5000 to 14,000 feet. 



This is the only species in which there is any marked 

 difference in the plumage of the sexes ; that of the female 

 resembling A. rufogularis, though it is easily distinguished 

 from that species by having the legs pinkish grey, not coral- 

 red, the feathers of the back barred and fringed with black, 

 instead of uniform, and the grey of the chest and breast 

 washed with olive-brown. 



Hodgson, in his unpublished plates, has confused A. rufo- 

 gularis with the female of A. torqueola, but to this I shall 

 refer later on under the head of the former species.
