The old males quite agree with the figure in Riippell’s ‘ Uebersicht.’ Two other 
males, probably younger ones, have the whole upper surface of the head black, as in the 
female, but without white spots; the base of the feathers is of a conspicuous dark grey ; 
in some specimens there are some red feathers on the vertex. The female has the head 
black, spotted with white; the nape is red; the mystacal stripe is also black. In other 
females the white spots on the head are much smaller.—0O. F. 
[Eye pearl-grey, in some specimens pear]-pink.
