individuals than in others. The female is greyish brown, with no 

 red on the back, but having red margins to the greater coverts ami 

 primaries; the under surface is dull white, slightly tinged with 

 ochreoas brown on the Eore aech and chest. Total length 6 inches, 

 colmeu "'7, wing 3*2, tail L*95, tarsus L*08. 



It differs ven conspicuously Erom the female oi A., rubricepa, ae 



it ha- [lone of the yellow colour on the head and throat.
