This species is most nearly allied to L. sinensis Bickett, which 

 it resembles in the darker colour of the mantle ; but the feathers of 

 the lower back and rump are dark brown, indistinctly tipped with 

 rufous, never barred with buff ; the chin and throat are more 

 rufous ; the general colour of the underparts less dark ; and the 

 flanks and under tail-coverts uniform without any traces of bars. 

 The black bars on the wings and tail-feathers are wider apart and 

 less numerous.
