coverts, the part immediately around the eye being almost white ; the rest of the 

 head, neck, and breast are brownish-black, the scapulars and upper parts rufous

The female in summer has the head and neck dark brown, with a light patch 

 on the face corresponding in some degree to that in the male, the lower part 

 of the breast brown and grey, and is elsewhere generally more rufous than in 

 winter.
