 marked with several round black spots : the quills are 

 dusky with a large band of pure white at their base ; 

 they are also edged with clear brown : the throat is 

 of a clear red ; and a little below, on the sides of the 

 neck, is a white band : the tail-feathers are marbled 

 with dusky-brown and reddish-ash, and striped with 

 nine or ten very narrow black bars ; the lateral fea- 

 thers are tipped with white : all the under parts of the 

 body are white in the adult, but in the young the

 its prey by daylight, flying to greater altitudes than 

 its congeners.
