This greatly resembles the preceding, and is of 

 the same size, but differs in having the entire 

 plumage above cinereous, spotted with brown and 

 white ; the under parts pale grey, and the quills 

 and tail tipped with white : its beak, irides, and 

 legs, are brown : it inhabits Chili, and its nest is 

 cylindrical, armed on the outside with thorns, and 

 lined with wool and feathers within ; the entrance 

 is on one side : its eggs are white, with brown 

 spots.
