Colour. — The forehead, the upper surface of the head, and the back of 
the neck dull reddish brown, all the feathers edged with pale rusty orange, 
and some of them towards the back marked in the course of the shaft with 
a stripe of a like colour, the proportion of the light tint greatest towards the 
interscapulars. The sides of the neck are variegated with two arched liver- 
brown bars mottled with white, the upper one originating at the outer 
canthus of the eye, the other at the base of the lower jaw; and they are 
separated from each other by a rusty orange stripe sparingly mottled with 
umber-brown. The superior of these arches terminates towards the base of 
the neck, the other joins its fellow of the opposite side, and forms a dark 
semicircle in front of the neck, the convexity of which is backwards; the upper- 
most arch is separated from the parts of the hind head and neck already 
described by a rusty orange band sparingly dotted with brown. The chin 
and part of the throat anterior to the dark semicircle white, and the front and 
sides of the neck below it, as also the breast a colour intermediate between 
orpiment and reddish orange, variegated with longitudinal bars of light cream- 
yellow, one on each feather, some of them occupying nearly the entire of the 
outer vane, and broken by narrow transverse liver-brown bars ; the tips dull 
pearl-grey. Belly mottled with irregular blotches of bright buff- orange, and 
a colour intermediate between orpiment and reddish orange; thighs and
