Yery similar to Colceus monedula , from which C. neglectus 
differs in the following points :— 
1st. The hind-neck is almost black, so that the black of 
the pileum is not sharply defined behind. 
2nd. The cheeks and ear-coverts are almost black, very 
slightly tinged with grey. 
3rd. The grey patch on the sides of the neck is much 
reduced, being confined to the upper part, just below the 
ear-coverts.
