Closely allied to F. pileatus, but smaller, and the feathers of 

 the breast of the male are without the triangular spot at the 

 apex of each feather ; but it is, with the whole of the under 

 surface, of a pale isabelline colour, with very faint brown trans- 

 verse undulations. In the female the breast and upper part of 

 abdomen are marked along the shaft of each feather with deep 

 marroon, slightly increasing in size at the apex ; the upper part 

 of back and wings blotched with black, while the lower part of 

 back, rump, and upper tail-coverts are indistinctly barred with 

 pale fulvous, which is margined above with obscure black.
