back part of the neck, cinereous: back and wing coverts 
brown: greater quills dufky: belly and breaft dirty white: 
upper tail coverts crimfon, and a bar of the fame acrofs the vent: 
the tail is dufky: legs dark grey. 
Inhabits Benguela and Senegal, in Africa. 
The under parts in fome fpecimens incline to yellow, and have 
the fides of the rump and wing coverts fpotted with white: the 
bafe of the bill bordered with black. Such an one was brought 
from the [fe of France, by M. Sonnerat.—Others have the under 
parts of a pale yellow: neither the bill nor rump red: the legs yel- 
lowifh, and totally without white fpots: perhaps of a different fex. 
There is alfo in fome birds a tinge of red on the breaft, and fore 
part of the neck; and the tail fomewhat longer in proportion: 
thefe fuppofed to come from the Cape of Good Hope.
