white, more or less tinged with rufous, and spotted 

 with black; the wings and back deep brown, with 

 blackish clouds; and the tail brown with large 

 black bands; the bill blueish with a reddish base, 

 and the feet yellowish with black claws. 



It should be added, that Monsieur Levaillant 

 considers this species as a kind of Goshawk rather

 observes that it is a third larger than the European 

 Goshawk.
