^[r. Montague, in the Ornithological Diaionary, has 
made a diftind fpecies of this bird, under the name we have 
affixed to it; we have adopted the fame fynonyms, though 
we have our doubts whether the prefent is the bird referred 
to in the above author's. 
The length of this fpecies is about fixteen inches and a half^ 
breadth twenty- eight, and it weighs about ten ounces and a 
half. Bill fmall, notched ; cere and bill covered with fcurf ; 
irides yellow, legs long and flender, claws fhort and not 
much hooked, tail long. Colours of the fexes alike, except 
the female being duller, and having the breaft much more 
inclined to dufky than the male ; the female exceeds in fize, 
being eighteen inches long and thirty in breadth, and weighs 
near twelve ounces.
