but the under mandible whitilh at the bafe : irides deep hazle :
the colour of the plumage is not very unlike that of the Fhroftle;
but differs in having a white ftreak over the eye, almoft to the
hind-head ; and the fides of the body and under the wings reddifh
orange: the legs are pale grey : the claws brown.
