Forehead, chin, and the sides oi' the head and neck (except 

 a black line througli the eye) white. Throat, breast, bind head, 

 nape, back, lesser wing-coverts, scapulars, innermost secondaries, 

 tips of primaries, upper tail-coverts, and light centre tail-feathers 

 black. Rest of wings and tail and underparts white. 



From M. amurensis this sp. may always be distinguished by 

 having black instead of grey lesser wing-coverts and white in- 

 stead of brown secondaries. From M. japonica its white, instead 

 of black, cheeks and sides of the neck are a sufficient distinction.
