Sykes' Oriole. 



Oriolus Kundoo, Sykes, Proc. Comm. Sci. & Corr. Zool. Soc. p. 87, 1832. 



The bird here represented is given as a species on the authority of Colonel Sykes, and drawn 

 from a specimen contained in that gentleman's collection. 



Colonel Sykes remarks that it is of the size of our Golden Oriole, and much resembling the 

 female of that bird ; but the bill is always very dark brown, and the hides reddish-brown instead 

 of lake. The sexes are alike. 



Habitat, Dukhun. 



The upper parts of the body are greenish-yellow ; the rump, the sides of the body, the inner 

 webs and tips of the tail feathers, bright yellow ; the wings are olive-brown ; the under parts of the 

 body are dirty white, with brown stripes down the centres of the feathers.
