Sex, Age, Comment | ♀. Using Sibley to sex this species can lead to confusion, since he has illustrated the heads of the male and the female quite differently. This bird has a head pattern very much like the male in his book, but the general plumage pattern, with widely streaked breast and no gray in the wing, tells that this bird is a female. So females can show the same head pattern as males, you see the rufous crown and buff nape which is not included in his illustration of the female. | ||||||||||||
