Show 114 terminal margins of the feathers rather fulvous thau rusty; the lower parts are pure white, the markings being dilute sepia, those of the bfeast in the form of narrow stripes, those of the abdomen tear- shaped and acicular, while on the sides each one dilates into two ovate spots; those of the tibia} are chain- like, the ovate spots connected by a narrow streak. Several specimens similar to these from Guatemala are in Mr. Salvia's collection. Many young females, not remarkable for either darkness or lightness of colors; have the spots on the sides so decidedly transverse as to appear like wide bars, connected, however, along the shaft. The adult plumage of this species is acquired at the first moult; bat before this takes place, the plumage becomes much worn and faded, the upper parts being grayish- brown, the rusty terminal margins to the feathers absent or very indistinct, and the markings of the lower parts lighter and more sandy- brown. Three specimens in the collection ( No. 3134, Mus. K. R., 9 juv.; No. 67342, Nat. Mus., 9 juv.; and No. 19384, Nat. Mus., 9 juv.) represent this stage.
