The upper surface of this bird is like that of F. ferruginea, the 

 lower like that of F. rufa. M. De Filippi does not mention the 

 white ends of the rectrices, but his specimen was probably immature.

 Mus. Dom. Eyton. 



A single specimen of this apparently distinct species has been 

 kindly lent to me by Mr. Eyton. The colouring of the upper sur- 

 face resembles F. ferruginea and F. gencei, but it is easily distin- 

 guishable by its pure rufous tail.
