This species is very like ■^. spilodera (Gray), with the type of 

 which I have compared it. A young bird described by me in the 

 Brit. Mus. Cat. (iv. p. 271) resembles ^. guttata in having the 

 head like the back, but has no spots on the throat. 



jE. spilodera has the head blackish brown, as also the feathers 

 of the eye and ear-coverts, whereas in yE. gvttata the head is 

 olive-brown, only a little darker than the back, and the ear-coverts 

 and feathers round the eye are light brown ; the bill, too, is light 

 horn-brown, and the legs brown, not yellow as in ^. spilodera.
