Described by Latham as below : “ It is at least 
nineteen inches in length : the beak pale : irides 
yellow : the crown and nape are black : sides of 
the head and round the eye furnished with a 
carunculated yellow membrane, hanging down on 
each side in a pointed wattle : the neck and all 
beneath is white, but the sides of the breast next 
the wings are black : back and wings olive-brown, 
with a tinge of nut-colour; the quills and end of 
the tail black, but the very tip of the last is fringed 
with white : the bare part of the legs above the 
knee, and a small space below it, is of a rose- 
colour ; the rest black, with rose-coloured seg- 
ments : at the bend of each wing a stout yellow 
spur, somewhat bent. Inhabits New South Wales : 
is sometimes met with in the flats going to Parra- 
matta, but is not a common bird.”
