'T'HIS bird, v/ich very little variation, I find defcribed by Brif- 

 Jon, as above quoted 5 but the neck and bieaft are afh-colour. 



Among the drawings of Mr. Middkton I find one which differs 

 in a much greater degree. Length in the drawing fourteen 

 inches. Bill hooked, befet with many hairs at the bafe ; colour 

 of it, and the bare fpace round the eyes, blue : irides red : head, 

 neck, and back, pale brownifli clay-colour : wing coverts barred 

 with fine lines of black and brown: quills reddifh chocolate- 

 brown, fome of the outer edges white : tail greatly cuneiform i 

 the ends of fome of the feathers white, of others black, with half 

 of the outer webs white : acrofs the breaft a white bar ; from 

 thence to the vent the belly is red : legs fhort, of a pale red. 



The fame bird is likewife figured among the drawings of Lady 

 Impey. It fcarcely differs, except that the white band acrofs the 



breaft is very narrow.
