“Tris carmine, bill and feet black.”’ 
Rather rare in scrub and secondary jungle and in clear- 
ings, but not found on Korinchi Peak itself. 
In the absence of direct comparison it is difficult to say 
in what respects this species differs from Chibia borineensts, 
(Sharpe, P.Z.S., 1879, p. 246; Ibis, 1889, p. 187), except in the 
absence of hair-like frontai plumes in even apparently fully 
adult birds and in the normal outer tail feathers; it is also 
noteworthy that the white spots on the under wing coverts so 
characteristic of immature birds of this family are quite 
undeveloped even in birds that are little more than nestlings.
