Schlegel has only described the female, which has the upper parts ofa dark ash-colour. I have also described the male, which has these partsof a dark, somewhat glossy black colour. Gould, lastly, has given twofigures of this species, saying that he believes that they represent male andfemale; but in reality these are the same, and only represent the not quiteadult female, with the upper parts ashy and with some small black patcheson the middle of the breast: the adult female has on the middle of the breasta large black area, as has the male.
