" Distinguished by having the entire under-parts uniform dingy 
brown, or very much sullied albescent (inclining in some to whitish 
on the abdominal region), and no ferruginous on the flanks, but only 
on the lower tail-coverts ; whereas in C. nipalensis, Hodgson, the 
under-parts are pure white, tinged with ferruginous on the sides of 
the breast, and the flanks as well as the lower tail-coverts are deep 
ferruginous; the upper-parts also are a shade less rufous than in 
C. nipaJensis, and the pale central spots to the feathers are more 
diffused (i. e. so much less defined), especially those of the head. 
ITpon a first view, it might be thought that the under-parts of 
C. discolor are merely dirty ; but the colour is not to be washed out ; 
while in C. nipalensis the white is alike pure, and the flanks deep 
ferruginous. C. discolor is common at Darjeeling."
