Bremen, xiv. p. 350 (1898). A female specimen, collected by Whitehead, is in somewhat worn plumage; it appears to be very closely allied to G. bengalensis, if, indeed, it is really distinct; but the latter has the black on the head and back more pronounced and the rufous edges to the feathers less conspicuous. Many specimens of G. bengalensis have the feathers of the rump more or less narrowly streaked with black. I do not consider this character of much importance.
