"Nearly adult female.--Crown and long occipital crest black; feathers over eye, as well as the sides and back of the neck tawny rufous, the latter spotted with black; sides of face grayish washed with rufous; upper surface of body brown, with a gloss of purplish brown, some of the feathers also shaded with greenish in certain lights; quills brown, tipped with whitish, barred with purplish brown, the secondaries very much paler brown, against which the bands of darker brown contrast strongly, especially the subterminal one, which has a distinct purplish gloss; under surface of quills grayish white, with dark brown bands, pure white near the base; tail brown, tipped with whity brown, and crossed by three bands of dark purplish brown, the subterminal one being very broad, and glossed with greenish; under surface of tail grayish white, like that of the wings, the subterminal band distinctly marked, the basal ones very faintly, excepting on the outermost feathers, which have a patch of dark brown on the outer web, extending on to the inner one also; under surface of body whitish, broadly streaked on sides of throat and chest, banded on breast, and spotted on under tail-coverts with pale rufous, darker and more inclining to rufous-brown on flanks, sides of body, and axillars; down the center of the throat extending to the fore neck, a broad black streak; under wing-coverts buffy white, spotted with pale rufous, the lower ones barred with this color. Bill horn-black, browner on lower mandible; feet yellow. Length, 444; culmen, 38; wing, 312; tail, 206; tarsus, 38. "Adult male (type).--Another specimen in the national collection (British Museum) differs from the foregoing in not having so stout a bill, in the sides of the face being more conspicuously gray, this shade also extending over the throat and breast, the former of which is narrowly streaked with grayish down the center; the crown of the head is blackish, feathers of the forehead being edged with rufous; the sides and hind part of the neck similarly marked, producing a striped appearance; occipital crest black, with a narrow white tip to one or two of the feathers; the bands on the breast very broad and pale rufous. Length, 389; culmen, 34; wing, 292; tail, 190; tarsus, 38. This would apparently be the adult male, and the other perhaps a female not quite adult." (Sharpe.) 195. BAZA LEUCOPAIS Sharpe.
