Two examples, both marked female, were obtained by Dr. Meyer. One is in full 
plumage, with all its colours fresh and bright, the maroon collar well developed; this 
I believe to be a male. The other has its markings less sharply defined, the black of 
the throat mixed with grey, and the pectoral band of the same colour as the back; in 
its dimensions it considerably exceeds the first.
