Compared with true A. tachiro this species is very much 
lighter underneath ; it has the dark cross-bands much more 
distinct, and not so broad as in the South- African species ; 
it has also pure white under tail-coverts without any dusky 
cross-bars. The under wing- coverts are, moreover, pure 
vinous without dusky cross-bars, and the tint of the rufous 
colour on the sides of the body and the thighs is very light 
vinous, not inclining to chestnut as in ^. unduliv enter .
