 and tipped with greyish white ; primaries and secondaries 

 uniform pale yellowish grey ; upper and under tail coverts 

 dull white, barred with pale brown ; tail-feathers uniform 

 yellowish-brown ; wings only reaching to the end of the 

 tail ; chin, throat, and breast dull white, mottled with pale 

 brown, belly more uniform in colour, and greyish-brown ; 

 legs and feet livid-brown. The bird in general appearance 

 is very similar to the young of the Lesser White-winged

 much larger : the whole length twenty-six inches and 

 a half, and the wing, from the anterior joint to the end, 

 seventeen inches and a half.
