 the feathers are extremely soft; there is less red on the face and upper 

 part of the side of the neck, and only a tinge of this color on the chin 

 and throat; the general color above and on the wings is more olive, and 

 the feathers of the back, the scapulars, the lesser and median wing- 

 coverts are margined with reddish orange ; the scapulars and the feathers 

 of the back and rump have the partially exposed black bases spotted with 

 white; on the outer primaries there is a subapical spot of dull white. 

 Described from a specimen sexed female by Mr. John Whitehead."
