 white, except the four first developed primaries, which have more or less of their

 the plumage of the flanks, however, only tipped with white : under surface of the 

 wing marked with white, as in the Oreocincles : the upper tail-coverts are somewhat 

 broadly tipped with white, and a tolerably large patch of the same is formed by the 

 ends of the smaller wing-feathers : tail having its middle feathers but slightly tipped 

 with white, the next largely, and the rest shewing successively more white on their 

 inner webs, till on the outermost the feather is more than half white, being also, 

 together with the penultimate, marked on the outer web with white towards the base. 

 Bill dusky above and at the tip of the lower mandible, the rest yellowish : legs yel- 

 low. A female specimen.
