Colour, &c.— The tipper surface of the head, the back of the neck the 
interscapulars, the back, the upper tail coverts, and the scapular leathers 
pearl-grey, faintly variegated with very slender transverse or obhque lmes, and 
strongly with broad longitudinal streaks, all of a liver-brown colour. The 
streaks are most numerous along the mesial line of the head, on the back of the 
neck, and the scapulars, and several of those on the latter are internally mar- 
gined with buff-orange, which offers a marked contrast to the elsewhere dar 
hue of those feathers. The lesser wing coverts umber-brown, finely freckled 
with reddish white, and irregularly but conspicuously tipped with buff-orange. 
The four outermost primary quill feathers brownish red ; the first and second, 
with a broad white bar across the inner, vane a little nearer to the point than 
to the base of the feather, the third and fourth with the same kind of bar 
extending across both vanes. The rest of the primaries, the secondaries, and 
all the tertiaries, except the three innermost, brownish red, more or less com- 
pletely barred with rusty reddish orange; the three tertiaries liver-brown, in the 
course of the shafts, and towards the edges pearl-grey, freckled with liver- 
nrown. Tail feathers, with the exception of the two middle ones, dark 
umber-brown, irregularly crossed with more or less complete narrow bars 
composed of small reddish white spots, and the two outermost feathers of each 
side broadly tipped with white ; the two middle tail feathers pearl-grey, with 
narrow angular umber-brown bars, and the intervals between them, which 
are wide, are variegated with longitudinal or waved, narrow, umber-brown
