IN this the whole plumage is white, except the lower part of the 

 neck and breast, on which is the same kind of blood red spot as in 

 the other, appearing as if a sword had pierced that part, and the 

 blood had soiled the feathers. 



Inhabits Manilla; it is probably a white Variety of the former; 

 as, on near inspection, although at first sight the whole plumage 

 seems white, the bands on the wings can be traced : on the same 

 principle, a white Variety of the Collared may be detected, as some 

 trace of the black of the hind part of the neck may be observed on 

 close inspection.
