Male adult. Breast chestnut, inner edges of quills whitish- 

 buff to white. Wing 65-69 mm. 



Female. Upper tail-coverts buffy-brown, not white. Wing 

 61-64 mm. 



The (^ differs from that of S. t. axillaris in having the 

 black of the throat more, the chestnut of the breast less, 

 extended^and the inner edges of the quills lighter. It differs 

 from the ^ of S. t. salax (W. Africa) in the upperside 

 having more rufous edges in fresh plumage, while the ? is 

 less rufous altogether. Differs from the $ of S. t. orientalis 

 (Scl., 1911) in having less chestnut on the underside, from 

 that of S. t. ruhicola in the deeper, more chestnut colour of, 

 the breast, and the upper tail-coverts have, in fresh plumage, 

 rufous edges but no black spots. All the other above-named 

 African forms have also, as a rule, longer wings. 



The $ differs from that of S. t. axillaris, salax, and 

 orientalis in having the upper tail-coverts brownish, not 

 white, and it is almost indistinguishable from that of S. t. 

 ruhicola except in size.
