 stout and black : the forehead, between the beak 

 and eye, the chin and throat, white : crown yel- 

 low : through the eye a dusky streak : the upper 

 parts of the body dusky; the feathers with rufous 

 brown margins ; wings the same : under parts of 

 the body, from the breast, pale yellow, varied 

 on the sides with long narrow streaks of dusky : 

 middle of the belly and thighs plain : rump and 

 tail rust-coloured : legs dusky blue : female with- 

 out the yellow on the head: this is a very bold 

 species.
