Colour. — The front and upper parts of the head brownish red, the feathers 
edged and tipped with brownish yellow. The neck light reddish orange, 
rather bright, and variegated by three moderately broad liver-brown bands, 
spotted with white ; one from the nape to the interscapular and widening as 
it approaches the latter, the other two, one on each side, arise immediately 
behind the base of the upper mandible, pass under the eyes, then take a 
semicircular course and terminate in an expanded blotch, which is coloured 
and variegated like themselves, and situated immediately in front of the breast. 
Interscapulars and back varied liver-brown, dull pearl-grey, buff-orange, 
and reddish orange ; the buff-orange is in the form of longitudinal stripes, 
the reddish orange in narrow transverse lines, and the grey is chiefly disposed 
towards the tips of the feathers. Breast and belly light reddish orange, 
each feather with a longitudinal clear senna-yellow stripe, and semi-trans- 
verse or oblique liver-brown bars near the tip, the latter is faintly tinted 
with pearl-grey. The outer vanes of the primary and secondary quill 
feathers, and a portion of their inner vanes towards the tips are deep reddish 
orange, elsewhere dull brown, speckled with light reddish orange. Tail umber- 
brown and crossed with narrow lines of clear buff-orange, each line edged 
before and behind with liver-brown. Thighs pale brownish yellow, barred 
with reddish brown. Legs and toes ochre-yellow. Claws brownish yellow, 
shaded with reddish brown. Bill reddish brown, with the base of the lower 
and the margin of the upper mandible near its cutting edge yellow. Eyes 
bright reddish orange.
