streaked with dark brown; across the belly a band of interrupted 

 spots of brown ; chin white ; femorals and vent pale brownish 

 white, the former marked with a few minute heart-shaped spots of 

 brown; legs yellow, feathered half way below the knees. 



This was a male. Another specimen shot within a few days 

 after, agreed in almost every particular of its color and markings 

 with the present; and on dissection was found to be a female.
