Diese Art ähnelt der P. gularis Smith, unterscheidet sich aber 

 durch geringere Grösse, namentlich kürzeren Schnabel und weissen, 

 nur auf der Brust und den Weichen bräunlich angeflogenen, bei 

 iener braunen, Unterkörper. In der Färbung der Oberseite, nament- 

 lich hinsichlich des braun und weiss gemischten Oberkopfes stimmen 

 beide Arten überein.
