"Adult male. Upper surface exactly as in P. amethystina except that 

 the primaries are slightly darker ; dark brown stripe under eye extending 

 from gape through ear-coverts to hind neck; below this a white stripe 

 and a second shorter dark stripe below the latter; cheeks fulvous brown; 

 chin and throat more ruddy brown; breast clear ashy gray, each feather 

 having an edging distinctly lighter than its center, producing a beautiful 

 mottled appearance ; feathers on center of fore breast washed with brown 

 and forming a distinct patch; feathers of abdomen lack the dark centers, 

 and their edges washed with light brown; thighs and under tail-coverts 

 cinnamon-brown, much lighter than in P. amethystina; under surface 

 of tail-feathers dark brown, nearly black, with faint metallic gloss and 

 a broad, gra}^, terminal band; shafts of feathers black changing to white 

 at tips ; under surface of wing and axillars uniform fulvous brown. Bill 

 black; feet dark pink; nails dark brown, nearly black. Wing, 145; 

 tail, 115; culmen, 26; tarsus, 20. Length not taken from birds in flesh. 

 This beautiful species was obtained in the Island of Negros on the moun- 

 tains of the interior, where it is by no means common. It is distinguished 

 from all the other species of the genus by its fine mottled breast."
