terminal margins of the feathers rather fulvous than rusty ; the lower 

 parts are pure white, the markings being dilute sepia, those of the breast 

 in the form of narrow stripes, those of the abdomen tear-shaped and 

 acicular, while on the sides each one dilates into two ovate spots ; those 

 of the tibia} are chain-like, the ovate spots connected by a narrow streak. 

 Several specimens similar to these from Guatemala are in Mr. Salvin's 

 collection. Many young females, not remarkable for either darkness or 

 lightness of colors, have the spots on the sides so decidedly transverse 

 as to appear like wide bars, connected, however, along the shaft. 



The adult plumage of this species is acquired at the first moult ; but 

 before this takes place, the plumage becomes much worn and faded, the 

 upper parts being grayish-brown, the rusty terminal margins to the 

 feathers absent or very indistinct, and the markings of the lower parts 

 lighter and more sandy-brown. Three specimens in the collection (i^o. 

 3131, Mus. E. R., 9 juv. ; No. 67312, Nat. Mus., 9 juv. ; and No. 19381, 

 Nat. Mus., 9 juv.) represent this stage.
