Bill as long as the head, stout, a little broader than high opposite the 
nostril, scarcely if at all compressed laterally anterior to the nostril, and strongly 
notched; culmen gently curved from the base and less suddenly toward the tip 
than in Mimus; gonys slightly adscending longer than the base part of rames 
and with the angle scarcely seen; rictal bristles strong, one half the length of 
culmen. Wing rather pointed; first quill a little more than one third of second 
with the tip acuminate; fourth and fifth equal and longest; third slightly shorter 
and longer than sixth; second longer than seventh. Tail shorter than wing. Tarsus 
than middle toe and claw; outer toe and claw decidedly longer than inner toe 
and claw.
