LIST OF PHILIPPINE BIRDS. 19 



as the southern form is distinct it should take another name. The 

 birds from Luzon and Leyte are rufous brown washed with greenish 

 and becoming decidedly rufous on the rump and upper tail coverts. 

 The under parts show none of the yellow streaks of the southern 

 form, and the flanks of the northern birds are olive brown. In 

 the southern ones they are washed with olive green.
