PLATE XLIII 
PLUMAGES OF THE GREY JUNGLEFOWL 
Gallus sonnerati TVemminck 
Tue chick in down has very distinct patterns and coloration, and the wing-feathers sprout 
rapidly so that it can fly a short time after hatching. 
The juvenile plumage of both sexes resembles that of the adult female, with usually a hint of 
the sealing-wax spots on the median wing-coverts of the cock. 
A full-grown cock in the eclipse plumage has the specialized neck hackles replaced with black 
ones. This partial moult lasts only for three months after the breeding season.
