The type-specimen, which was procured at Tonka in the Malay 

 Peninsula, has the outer pair of tail-feathers largely white, only the 

 basal five-sixths of the outer web and the basal third of the inner web 

 being black ; the penultimate pair have the terminal half of the inner 

 web white. Other examples from the Malay Peninsula have less white 

 on the outer tail-feathers than the type-specimen, but the amount of 

 white appears to vary in different individuals ; the bird collected on 

 Gunong Tahan having very little white and approaching U. squamaia 

 (Temiii.) from Java in this respect.
