Colour. — Head, crest, neck, and under parts, yellowish white ; the thighs 
externally variegated with large blackish brown bars and arrow-shaped spots, 
the points of the latter directed towards the bases of the feathers, internally, 
like the tarsi, they are marked with delicate umber-brown streaks in the 
course of the shafts ; some of the under tail-coverts crossed with irregular 
umber-brown bars, the shafts of the feathers of the crest brown. Interscapu- 
lars and feathers of the back hoary brown, broadly margined with winte, tne 
former lightest ; rump and tail-coverts blackish brown, irregularly barred and 
broadly tipped with white. Lesser wing coverts blackish brown, clouded or 
rather irregularly barred with greyish brown, and all broadly edged at 
and near the point with white. Primary quill coverts deep blackish 
brown, tipped with white, their inner vanes towards quills hoary brown ; 
secondary quill coverts blackish brown, with white points, and several 
broad brownish grey bars. The inner vanes of the primary quill feathers 
dingy umber-brown, crossed towards their points with irregular blackish 
brown bars, and towards the bases by white ones ; the latter towards the 
inner edge of the feather spreads so as to form nearly the whole of the mar- 
ginal colour ; outer vanes blackish brown, barred with grey. The inner vanes 
of the secondary and tertiary quill feathers light brown, fading towards their 
inner edges into white, and here and there crossed by irregular blackish brown
