Photos 1 and 3 show females with a very heavy pale bill, conspicuous white supercilium, whitish wing-bars and buffy underparts with dark brown streaks on the breast and flanks. The non-breeding male, seen here in photo 2, is similar but is more black than brown and usually has a hint of rose on its breast. | |||
