In this genus the bill is proportionately small, the exposed 

 culmen being about equal to the hind toe and claw, and slightly 

 hooked at the tip of the upper mandible. The wing is rounded, 

 the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth primaries longest and about 

 equal, the second about equal to the seventh. The tail is short, 

 being only one-third longer than the exposed culmen. The 

 tarsus is two-sevenths longer than the tail. The hind toe and 

 claw are about four-fifths the length of the middle toe and claw.
