nostrils and behind the cheeks a few small hairy redbrown feathers, 
a bundle of which protects the external ear opening. From here down- 
wards along the neck a narrow row of fine redbrown glossy feathers, 
while the centre of the throat is nearly naked, with only a few small 
blackish feathers. 
The feathers of the crown, neck and the sides of the throat are black 
with white shafts and ochre yellow seams. These, pointed, feathers are 
largest on the neck, they become gradually smaller higher up, until the 
original design is hardly visible on ‘the very small crown-feathers 
which appear regularly blackish mottled. 
The bill has a dark horn color, the lower mandible somewhat pinkish. 
Rudiments of a comb present. Iris of the color of burnt sienna. Head 
and breast intensely cinnamom-brown. Belly of similar color, but lighter, 
while the color of the sides of the posterior part of the belly and of the 
shins ismoregreyish brown,thusapproaching the color of the dorsal parts. 
The feathers of the back are very caracteristically designed, they are 
generally grey-brown mottled with numberless small black points, the 
middlepart of the otherwise black shaft is white. The same design (the 
peculiarity of the shafts excepted) is found on the outer webs of the 
secondaries and on the whole of the tertiaries, also on the central 
pair of the tailfeathers, while the other tailfeathers are so designed 
only on the basalpart of the outer web. Otherwise the tailfeathers 
and the large primaries are rufous black. At the inside of the tarsi 
small knobs represent the rudiments of spurs. Color of leg and claws 
ledblue. 
The stomach contained hard fruits, insects and particles of the soil.
