83 



feathers greyish white, with the dark bars of the upper 

 surface showing through : the tarsi and toes yellow ; the 

 claws black. 



The females of this species are rather larger than the 

 males ; but there is no very observable difference in the 

 plumage : females have the head more inclined to grey, 

 with a more decided red colour on the under surface of 

 the body.
