cinereous. Belly and femorals pale ash ; vent reddish chestnut. 
Quills dusky, the 1st spotless, the 2d with a small mark of white on 
the tip of the outer web, which mark gradually increases on the fol- 
lowing feathers, forming a longitudinal spot which is much larger on 
the secondaries, 4 of which have the vermilion, wax-like appendages. 
Each feather of the bastard wing is also largely tipt with white, thus 
producing an additional spot of white ; there is however no yellow 
on the wing. Tail 3 inches, black, broadly terminated with pale yel- 
low. Feet and legs black. Iris reddish.
