Adult. Above black, glossed •with greenish blue, wings and tail dusky; forehead, cheeks, 
chin, throat and upper chest hazel, darker on the forehead; under surface smoke- 
grey with darker shaft streaks, under wing-coverts, flanks and under tail- 
coverts browner, the terminal part of the last black, tipped vdth whitish; quills 
below hair-brown, the shafts pale (Macassar, Q, Jan. 1873 — C 512). Iris brown; 
bill and feet black (Guillem. 16). 
Sexes. They are alike. 
In some specimens the under surface is browner and darker, and the forehead 
and throat darker, being chestnut; this appears to be a sign of age or the breeding 
plumage. 
Young. Like the adult, but the forehead dusky brown with paler margins to the feathers 
— not chestnut; head above dusky brown; chin, throat and upper chest very pale 
hazel; middle of abdomen whitish (N. Bohol Q, Oct. 1877 — 0 5403, Banka Id., 
Celebes, 12. Y. 93 — 0 12283).
