It measures nine inches and a half in length; the bill is strong, an inch long, and of a full yelloAV, though somfhies black, or dusky nea'' the tip of the upper mandible; the ir?.'^ \ of the neck and tail is black; the back and rump an ash Ciiioi ; the wings are black edged with light ash; the inner tips of the two exterior tail feathers are white; three small spots of white border the eye; the throat and upper part of the breast is black, the former streaked with white; the whole of the rest of the breast, down as far as the thighs, is of a dark orange; belly and vent white, slightly waved with dusky ash ; legs dark brown ; claws black and strong. The colors of the female are more of the light ash, less deepened with black; and the orange on the breast is much paler, and more broadly skirted with white.
