rump and upper tail-coverts chestnut-red, edged with tawny; greater and lesser wing-coverts brownish black 

 margined externally with tawny and tipped with buffy white ; primaries and most of the secondaries brown, 

 narrowly edged with tawny ; the last three or four secondaries, nearest the body, conspicuously margined 

 with tawny ; under surface white, with the exception of the centres of the flank feathers, which are chestnut- 

 red ; tail dark brown, the centre feathers edged with tawny ; a broad longitudinal oblique stripe of white 

 down the centre of the external feather, and a narrower one down the next on each side. 



In the female the general arrangement of the colouring of the body is very similar, but much paler; the 

 flank-marks extend further down the sides ; and the ear-coverts and the black above the superciliary mark 

 are much less deep. 



The Plate represents a male and a female, of the size of life.
