Figure 1. 



The bird from which this drawing was made was shot at Yarmouth, 

 in September, 1841, and is in the Museum at Nor.wich. It is of an 



almost uniform dark clove brown. There are a few lightish spots 

 about the neck and shoulders. The quill-feathers are almost black, 

 and the tail has three bars of very dark brown, the spaces between 

 which are divided by narrower bars of a lighter tint than the former, 

 but darker than the ground colour of the tail itself. It is labelled 

 " Immature."
