[The bird marked " female " is the type of the species. 

 If correctly sexed, it is curious to note that it is exactly like 

 the male, and has a white throat and abdomen, and a broad 

 black breast-band. B. diops differs from B. mixta in being 

 much blacker, especially on the head and wings; the primaries 

 are almost entirely black without grey edgings, and the 

 head also is blacker and not so grey. The two spots at the 

 base of the forehead are also characteristic of B. diops. —
