the side of the lower throat, becoming narrow on the side of the upper 
breast and extending thus partly across the latter, terminal half of the 
under wing-coverts, tips of some of the feathers of the lower abdomen 
and vent, and terminal two-thirds of the under tail-coverts white. 
Lower surface of wings and tail ashy black. Bill and feet black.

the sides of the upper breast. Tail pale-brown on the basal half of the 
upper surface, the terminal half with a broad black band; the outermost 
feather with a large w r hite subapical spot occupying both webs, the 
other laterals with a spot confined to the inner web and gradually
