This is a very small species with a rather bushy tail of a general 

 rufous color tinged with yellow; the tail however being darker than 

 the body and without any yellow tinge. This type is in a good state 

 of preservation, and as yet has probably only slightly faded. There is 

 no real gray hue on the upper parts, the plumbeous of the base of the 

 hairs, when showing through on throat and under parts, alone giving 

 an indication of a gray hue.
