It is of an almost uniform dark clove brown. There are a few lightish spots about the neck and shoulders. The quill-feathers are almost black, and the tail has three bars of very dark brown, the spaces between which are divided by narrower bars of a lighter tint than the former, but darker than the ground colour of the tail itself. It is labelled "Immature."
