This appears to be distinct from the preceding : 

 it is rather larger, and has the upper parts of the 

 plumage brown tinged with purple ; and the cheeks 

 and side of the neck incline to rufous : in other re- 

 spects it resembles that bird. 



It inhabits the Philippine Islands, and also Southern 

 Africa.
