The top of the head, neck, and body of this 

 Thrush are of a grey brown, changing to dusky 

 black on the wing-coverts and quills: the primaries 

 are darker than the secondaries, which, as well as 

 the coverts, are edged with ash- colour : the tail is 

 similar to the wings in colour, and is tipped with 

 white for about an inch on the outer feathers, the 

 next on each side less, and the rest marked with 

 that colour : the feathers on the sides of the head 

 are long and thin, and are dark ash over the ears : 

 from the beak to the eye extends a white line: 

 the under parts of the body are whitish grey : the 

 beak and legs are black : its length is about eight 

 inches and a half. Inhabits Guiana.
