Tuts is the representative of 7. cryptopyrrhus in the Cameroons, and has the thighs dull ashy-brown 
like the sides of the body. There is not the slightest tinge of orange colour on the flanks, and the 
under wing-coverts and axillaries are dull orange-rufous, not pale orange-buff as in 7. cryptopyrrhus. 
The species appears to be confined to the mountains of the Cameroons district. It was 
discovered at a height of 2700 feet by Dr. Preuss in 1891. 
Adult female. General colour above dull slaty-brown, the head a little browner than the back ; 
wing-coverts like the back ; bastard-wing, primary-coverts, and quills dark sepia-brown, externally 
like the back; tail-feathers dark sepia-brown ; lores and sides of face dusky brown, the ear-coverts 
with whitish shaft-lines; cheeks and throat dull white, streaked with rows of blackish spots not very 
pronounced ; fore-neck, breast, and sides of body dull ashy-brown ; the abdomen white, with the 
adjoining feathers of the lower breast ashy with whitish margins; thighs dark ashy-brown; under 
tail-coverts white, with broad margins of ashy-brown ; under wing-coverts and axillaries orange- 
rufous ; quills dusky brown below, pale orange-rufous along the inner web. Total length 8:5 inches, 
culmen 0:9, wing 44, tail 8:0, tarsus 1:3.
