“ The dimension above given of the tail of this bird includes 
the two central feathers, which are about half an inch longer 
than either of the others ; these latter, when spread out, form a 
segment of a circle, the outermost feathers being the shortest. 
The head and neck are glossy black, but in certain lights exhibit 
a slight blueish tint; the whole body and wing coverts are of a 
rust colour, for the most part pale, but assuming a decided and 
rich hue on the abdomen ; the tail and feathers of flight in the 
wings are of a deep brownish gray, but inclining to black. The 
bill is stout.
