Hierax erythrogemjs i Vigors, Proc. Comm. Sci. and Corr. Zool. Soc. 1830-1, p. 96. 
This falcon appears to be quite unique. I am not aware of its existence in any European 
collection, excepting that of the Society’s, to which it was presented by Hamilton Lindsay, Esq. 
Corresponding Member. 
The specimen was killed in the neighbourhood of Manilla. 
The whole upper surface, sides of the body and thighs, black, with a green metallic gloss; the 
under surface, white; ear-coverts, bright rust colour; bill, yellow; legs and feet, blackish. 
Total length, six and a half inches.
