upper parts of the body, the wing-coverts, and the 

 flanks are of a brown-grey, with the edges of the 

 feathers of a clear grey ; which causes the under side 

 of the plumage to appear whitish : the wing and tail- 

 feathers are brown : the sides of the base of the beak 

 and a band through the eyes are black : from the 

 base of the beak to the vent is a black line, which is 

 crossed on the breast by a similar transverse one ter- 

 minating on the sides of the neck: the beak is whitish, 

 and the legs are yellowish-brown.
