ches, culmen 0:01 to 0:81 inch, tarsus 1:35 inch ; bastard- 
primary projecting beyond the primary-coverts, its exposed portion measuring 1:05 to 0:95 inch. 
Young in first plumage. Probably have pale shaft-streaks to all the small feathers of the upper 
parts, except the wing-coverts. An example in the British Museum still retains the pale shaft-streaks 
on the scapulars ; the black on the throat is confined to two malar stripes, and the breast and flanks 
are much suffused with rufous. 
The female probably resembles the male in colour. | 
The figure represents the type in the British Museum, and is life-sized. The same example 
was figured in 1872 by the late Marquis of Tweeddale (Trans. Zool. Soc. viii. pl. 6. fig. 2). 
4:61 to 4:35 inches, tail 9:25 to 2:95 in
