 length 5*8 inches ; culmen 0'85 ; wing 35 ; tail 2'05 ;

 of the underparts buff, in having the underparts mostly 

 yellow, much as in H. cucullata (Miill.). Freshly moulted 

 females (April-May) have the roan tie and hack washed with

 these parts are greyish-brown, forming a strong contrast with 

 the head and nape, which are washed with yellow. Total

 tarsus 0*87.

 flesh-colour.
