 and sides of neck conspicuously streaked with black and white, the 

 white streaks narrower on hindneck, much broader on sides of neck; 

 back, scapulars, rump, and upper tail-coverts brown (between broccoli 

 and light bistre), the back and scapulars conspicuously variegated 

 with black and white, mostly in form of large, usually transverse, 

 irregular spots of the former and irregular (often triangular) streaks 

 or spots of the latter; rump similar!}' but less conspicuously vari- 

 egated, the markings more or less concealed; upper tail-coverts 

 baiTed with paler brown and duskj'; middle pair of rectrices and 

 outer web of next pair light grayish brown barred, more oi- less
