latter colour being richest, and predominating on the abdomen, lower part of the back, and upper tail-
coverts ; wings very dark or blackish brown, the coverts largely tipped with white, forming two conspicuous
bands across the shoulder, whence the specific name; a few of the tertiaries are also tipped with white;
tail very dark or blackish brown ; primaries and tail-feathers very narrowly margined with yellowish white ;
bill brownish horn-colour ; feet purplish brown ; irides dark brown.

The female has the forehead, face, and throat grey ; crown of the head mottled grey and pale brimstone-
yellow, which latter colour predominates on the lower part of the back, whence it becomes almost pure
yellow ; under surface grey, washed with brimstone-yellow on the breast, upper part of the abdomen, and
flanks ; lower part of the flanks streaked with brown ; wings and tail as in the male, but more conspicuously
margined; upper tail-coverts tipped with white ; bill, feet, and irides as in the male.
