The head, neck, breast, andbelly, are of a dull ochre-yellow colour, on the head and upper part of theneck mixed with feathers of a darker shade. A broad streak of black passesfrom the eyes above the auricular feathers. The back, wings, and extremityof the tail, are very deep brownish-black ; the base of the quill and tail fea-thers yellowish-white, barred and spotted with brownish-black ; the rumpand under tail-coverts are white: the legs and feet are bluish-black. The female is about an inch and a quarter longer than the male; theblack streak over the eyes is very indistinctly marked, but there is no differ-ence in the other parts of the plumage. The specimen from which the accompanying drawing and descriptionwere taken, was brought in 1825 from the Brazils by Dr Such, and, togetherwith the female, is now in the museum of the Zoological Society of London.
