Closely allied to P. fuscus, but distinguished by having 

 the plumage altogether darker, the black markings, especially 

 on the underparts of the body, being much coarser. The 

 mantle and upper back are devoid of the broad chestnut 

 shaft-streaks characteristic of P. fuscus; on the sides of the 

 breast, belly, and flanks the wide chestnut middles to the 

 feathers are much reduced, and the sides of the feathers are 

 strongly barred with black and white. Iris brown ; bill and 

 legs dull red. Total length about 10 inches, wing 4*7, 

 tail 3'6, tarsus 1'15. 



Hab. Gessema, British East Africa.
