back, and upper wing coverts, which are tipped with white ; on 

 each of the wing coverts an oblong- white spot at the end, forming 

 a regular series on the wing ; under wing coverts white; quills and 

 secondaries edged with white ; the tail greatly rounded at the end, 

 black, all the feathers tipped with white; on the exterior a white 

 spot on the outer web, about the middle ; the under parts of the 

 body ash-colour; legs black. 



Inhabits Cayenne. M. Levaillant observes, that the white ends 

 of the tail feathers occupy more space as they are more outward. 

 One of these, in the collection of Lord Stanley, had only the three 

 outer tail feathers tipped with white ; a similar one, in Mr. Bullock's 

 Museum, had no part of the back marked with white, and the two 

 middle tail feathers of one plain black.
