Nestling. Feathers edged and tipped with rusty brown.

Adult female. Uniform blackish brown above and below. 
We found this species locally distributed in the Hinter- 
land in open stone-strewn country, where it breeds in 
January, making its nest of dried grass underneath large

The male sings prettily, and when alarmed gives vent 
to a string of chattering notes, the last being prolonged and 
plaintive.
