So extremely like Nyroca Leucopthalmus, that as far as colouring goes one description will 

 serve. The greater size, much larger and robust bill, and the bill being deep lead coloured, 

 with a fascia of lighter across just behind the nail, as well as being destitute of the white spot 

 on the chin, serve to distinguish it.
