the plumage altogether darker, the black markings, especially

breast, belly, and flanks the wide chestnut middles to the 
feathers are much reduced, and the sides of the feathers are 
strongly barred with black and white. Iris brown ; bill and 
legs dull red. Total length about 10 inches, wing 4'7, 
tail 3’6, tarsus L15.
