Adult. Head, neck, throat and breast wood-hrown, darker above, paler below, more 
drab-colour on head, passing on the rest of upper surface, wings, and tail into 
Mars- and walnut-brown; under tail-coverts, flanks and thighs of the same colour 
passing into wood-hrown on the lower breast. Bill black, horn -brown at tip. In 
some specimens, it is yellowish white at the tip and over part of the lower mandible. 
Adult male and female. Alike in coloration, the latter is perhaps a triple larger. 
Immature. Differs little from the adult. The head, neck and breast is washed more strongly 
with a rufous tint, so that the colour here contrasts less strongly vuth that of the 
rest of the body, and across the throat a rufous collar is perceptible (Manado, 
0 5186, Limbotto $, 0 1814). 
Lord Walden remarks: “In P. celebensis, the fully adult bird loses the bright 
yellow-rufous chin-, throat-, neck-, and breast-plumage of the younger bird. These 
parts become very pale fulvous and contrast with the dark chestnut of the remaining 
lower region. . . . The young bird is bright rufous throughout” (1).
