Adult male. — Forehead, chin, and cheeks silky golden-yellow ; back and 



sides of the head and neck, and interscapular region, blackish brown, every 



feather margined with olive-yellow. If the feathers of the head and neck 



(but not of the interscapulary region) are lifted, their basal halves will be 



found to be yellowish white. The wings and scapulars are black, or at any 



rate so deep and black a brown that most people would call them black ; and 



all the coverts and quills, except the first few primaries, are conspicuously 



margined with bright olive-^^ellow ; the tertiaries and longer scapularies with 



a conspicuous marginal white stripe on the inner webs ; the tail black, the 



outermost tail-feathers (which are narrow, pointed, and 0'8 inch shorter than 



the next pair) broadly tipped with white or greyish white, and with a streak 



of the same running up the shaft, the next pair (which are about 0"3 inch 



shorter than the rest of the tail) similar, except that the white tipping is 



confined to the inner web. Central portion of middle and lower back and 



rump bright orange-yellow, the basal portions of the feathers paler, and many 



of them with a dusky streak or spot; sides, rump, and upper tail-coverts 



black, some of the longest of the latter margined with yellowish white. 



Breast dusky, with an olivaceous tinge, and the feathers obscurely margined 



with olive-yellow ; edge of wing, wing-lining, and axillaries silky yellow to 



yellowish white. Abdomen dull brown, the feathers broadly margined with 



brownish white ; flanks, vent, and lower tail-coverts blackish brown, the 



feathers conspicuously margined with dull somewhat yellowish white ; the 



third quill is the longest, the second a hair's breadth at most, and the first 



and fourth less than 0"1 inch shorter than the third; the tarsus is between 



0"5 and 06 inch in length, and is feathered in front for its upper three fifths 



(^Hume~) ; eye small, the iris dark brown, the naked space round the eye a
