largely tipped with white, forming a conspicuous band ; outer tail-feather on each side white, the 
remainder dark brown, narrowly edged on both margins with white, and slightly tipped with rufous ; 
central feathers brown, broadly margined with rufous ; ear-coverts striated with brown and russet red ; 
under surface white, with numerous small striae from the angle of the mouth ; a series of brown and 
russet-coloured spots across the breast ; and a series of rufous and brown striae on the sides and flanks ; 
hill dark brown, except at the base of the under mandible, where it is creamy white ; legs, toes, and 
claws brown. 
The female is very similar, but has no rufous on the head, less white across the wings, the markings less 
decided, and is generally of a darker hue. 
The Plate represents the two sexes, of the size of life.
