I obtained this species first at Katlia and afterwards at Tsitkaw, where it is 

 numerous, and also at Ponsee. It differs from T. meena in several particulars ; 1^^, 

 the anterior half of the body has not the rufescent tinge of T. meena, which is most 

 marked on the occiput, hind neck, and upper back of that bird ; 2nd, the rufous 

 margins of the wing feathers are not so intense or broad as in T. meena ; Srd, the 

 abdomen is vinaceous-brown, the same as on the lower half of the breast, and 

 about the vent is bluish-ashy ; 4ith, the sides of the body, under the wing, are 

 more uniformly bluish-ashy than in the T. meena, and the under tail-coverts are 

 slightly darker. The nape, till on a line with the collar, is rufescent vinaceous, 

 and the neck spot, instead of being abruptly defined, as in T. meena, has a 

 bluish-ashy tint on all its sides, except the upper one, and it is altogether longer. 

 The back is brownish, marked with slightly vinous rufescent, and the feathers are 

 very faintly margined with rufescent brownish ; the lower back and rump deep 

 bluish- grey, the feathers very faintly washed with rufescent at their tips. Under 

 surface vinaceous-brown, deepest on the breast.
