Iris dark brown ; bill pale blue, becoming indigo or blackish 

 towards the tip ; feet dusky black (September) or bluish- 

 slate-colour (March). 



Total length in the flesh about 185 mm. ( = 7*25 ins.). 



Birds killed in September, November, and December are 

 in worn plumage, inclining to brownish on the back ; those 

 killed in March are in fresh plumage, but the primary-quills 

 and tail-feathers are not quite complete. 



A young bird (No. 159) has the feathers of the back and 

 wing-coverts tipped with rufous, and some of the white 

 feathers of the rump and underparts, especially the chest, 

 similarly tipped with rufous. All the wing-quills are 

 margined at the extremity with pale whitish-buff, and the 

 tail-feathers tipped with similar colour. In the dried skin 

 the bill is brown, paler towards the gape.
