third, and equal to the seventh; the third, fourth, and fifth, 

 of nearly equal length, and the longest in the wing; secondaries, 

 the same; tertiaries, the same, tipped with dull white. The 

 tail, which is slightly indented at the end, and extends a little 

 beyond the wings, is brownish grey, the feathers margined 

 with greenish; underneath grey, with white shafts; upper and 

 under tail coverts, greenish buff; legs, toes, and claws, very 

 dark lead-colour; the latter are rather thick. 



The female resembles the male. The black on the head is 

 less glossy, and does not extend so far down, and the white 

 is less pure: the grey of the back is tinged with greenish 

 brown. 



The young resemble the female: the first feathers have a 

 tinge of green.
