Several specimens of this species, in various states of plumage, 
were obtained at Malacca, where it is not very uncommon. The adult 
male may be distinguished by its uniform sooty-black appearance, 
the wing-coverts being white with blackish tips; whereas, in the 
young, the whole upper plumage is of a plain brown, under parts 
paler, especially on the abdomen and throat ; the rump of a dusky 
colour, with dull yellowish-brown terminal fringes, and having no 
trace of the white on the wing-coverts. 
A specimen of what may possibly be a state of plumage, or the 
female of this bird, has the head, back, rump and shoulders of an 
olive-green colour; wings dusky, ferruginous on the outer webs, and 
margined with olive-green ; coverts rufous olive-green; tail rufous, 
paler below, the feathers of the rump copious ; flanks dusky, with a 
broad yellowish-white tip to most of the feathers; throat white, the 
breast brownish-grey ; fore part of abdomen white tinged with yellow, 
the latter colour becoming brighter on the vent and under tail-coverts. 
Bill and feet dark horn colour. 
Length, 73 inches; of wing, 38ths; tail, 33ths; bill to gape,
