 white, passing almost to the hind head ; the upper parts of the body

 and belly yellowish white ; the sides dashed with cinereous olive, and 

 some of the feathers black near the tips; thighs olive ; lesser wing

The lower figure in the PI. enlum. above quoted, probably re- 

 presents the other sex. In markings it does not materially differ, 

 but it wants the white band on the sides of the head, over the eye ; 

 the brown part of the plumage is darker, and the under parts from 

 the breast paler.
