Frontal view.
The crown is cinnamon, with a slight rufous tinge. The lores and a band through (and above and below) eye to side of nape are black. The chin, submoustachial area, and sides of neck are white, with the throat black. There is a white band across lower throat, above a well-defined but fairly narrow cinnamon-rufous breastband (may be nearly broken in center). The flanks are rufous chestnut, with the remainder of the underparts whitish (pale pinkish-buff feather bases on belly and vent visible when plumage worn).
