124. DlLOPIIUS CARUNCULATUS. 



Dilophus carunculatus (Gra.) ; Sharpe^ t. c. p. 421. 



To a specimen from the Ivuna River Messrs. Woodward 

 attach a note : — ''This Starling is common and differs from 

 the wattled form in having a white rump and no wattles. 

 ]\Iale and female the same." 



The bird which I have described in the 'Catalogue of 

 Birds ' as the adult female has the white rump strongly 

 developed, whereas in the male the rump is only a little 

 paler cream-colour than the back. Young birds seem in- 

 variably to have a considerable amount of white on the rump, 

 and, to judge from the series in the British Museum, it seems 

 probable that the species has a winter plumage, but this can 

 be determined only by naturalists on the spot.
