About the nostrils and corners of the mouth he has black hairs or bristles; and about the eyes a large black longitudinal spot; the back and upper side of the wings are of a rusty colour; the head and rump cinereous; the throat and breast white, spotted with red. He builds his nest of grass; and the female lays six eggs, nearly all white, except at the blunt end, which is encircled with brown or dark red marks.
