Description. — The bill, legs, and feet are black. The 
tail quills (except a white bar), the greater coverts, and the 
whole top of the head and nape, black, with a metallic

primaries with a very broad white bar extending from near 
the base to near the tip, and, except on the first primary, 
occupying the outer as well as the inner web. The shafts 
of the white portion of the feather are, in the first two or
