Colour. — Top of the head and interscapulars umber-brown, variegated 
with yellowish brown, from all the feathers being edged and tipped with the 
latter colour; the back of the neck, the back and the shoulders clear 
yellowish brown dashed with longitudinal umber-brown streaks, one streak 
along the middle of each feather — the variegations few and indistinct on the 
back. Tail coverts umber-brown, margined and tipped with yellowish brown. 
The sides of the head and neck pale yellowish brown, the latter behind

feathers broccoli-brown, narrowly margined externally with dull wood-brown ; 
tertiary quill feathers umber-brown, broadly margined and tipped with
