This is a chestnut-coloured specimen which appears to 
have freshly moulted. It has no white nape-spot, and is like 
an example which I obtained on April 11, 1898, in Andalucia. 
My specimen was in full moult and the new feathers were 
even of a brighter red than the old.

This specimen has the base of the tail unspotted, but the 
throat, unlike that of C. 7. varia, is also unspotted, while the 
flanks are distinctly streaked. The wing measures 5°8 inches, 
which is considerably larger than that of C. 7. varia.
