the ear-coverts; primaries and secondaries reddish brown on their 
inner webs ; the external edges of the former light grey, and of the 
latter deep rusty chestnut ; tail deep rusty chestnut, particularly the 
six central feathers, the remainder being darker and having less of 
the chestnut hue, these lateral feathers also become lighter and of a 
reddish fawn-colour towards their tips; abdomen and thighs deep
