The lower parts are rusty, but the feathers of the side are streaked with black. The wings are brownish-black, with a white speculum. The under tail-coverts are brownish, spotted with black. The tail is dark brown; the bill blue, and feet blackish; length about 15 inches. The female has the head black, with one or two brownish streaks running back from the bill. The chestnut is paler, verging to yellowish, and spotted with black; the sexes are thus much alike, but the female is very much duller. 223.
