White-Tailed Ruby Throat (Calliope pectoralis)

513. Calliope pectoralis, Gould.

Icones Avium, pl. - Blyth, Cat. 991 - Horsf,, Cat. 486 - Bradybates, apud Gray, Genera of Birds.

The White-tailed Ruby Throat.

Descr. - General color dark brownish ashy, with a white supercilium ; lores black, and a small moustachial spot white ; the breast and sides of the throat black, and the chin and the middle of the throat and upper part of the neck bright glistening crimson ; the belly, vent, and under tail-coverts, white, ashy on the flanks and mixed with dusky on the under tail-coverts ; tail white on the basal half, except the centre pair, and white tipped ; .also some white on the outer-web of the outermost feathers. In winter the black of the breast is broadly edged with grey, and the red of the throat is less intense ; the back too is not so dark. The female is plain olive-brown, paler on the breast, and whitish on the throat and belly; supercilia pale rufescent, there is much less white at the base of the tail, and the terminal spots are light rufescent.

Bill dusky ; legs pale reddish brown; irides dark brown. Length 6 inches ; wing barely 3 ; tail 2 3/4 ; bill at front nearly 1/2 ; tarsus 1 1/8.

The tail is more graduated than In the last species, and the wings are more rounded. It is found throughout the Himalayas, from Cashmere to Sikhim. I saw it at Darjeeling, where not common, frequenting thick brush-wood, and coming to the road to feed on insects. Adams found It at high elevations, among rocks and precipices. In the N. W. Himalayas. I quite recently procured one specimen, and saw others, frequenting long grass jungle, not far from the banks of the Ganges at Caragola Ghat. It came to the small foot paths, especially near the edge of water, to feed. It is only a cold weather visitor at Darjeeling, but may probably breed in the interior.

The Indian Ruby-throated Robin.

Upper parts, including the ear coverts and sides of the neck,'a uniform dark slate grey, shading into brown on the crown; lores black ; eye-stripe white, meeting in a narrow line over the forehead ; wings brown, the outer webs of the wing coverts slate grey ; tail with sometimes two and sometimes four centre feathers plain brown, the remaining feathers dark brown with more or less white on the base and dps of most feathers; chin and upper throat glossy scarlet;lower throat, and upper breast dull black; belly and under tail coverts white, shading into slate grey on the flanks, axillaries, and under wing coverts; bill black ; rictal bristles. almost obsolete; legs and feet brown.

Length.-6 inches ; wing 2.7 to 2.9; tail 2.0 to 2.25 ; culmen 0.55 ; tarsus 1.23.

The female differs from the male in having the general colour of the upper parts a uniform earthy brown; the black on the lores, cheeks; lower throat, and upper breast replaced by greyish brown; the slate grey of the flanks, axillaries, and under wing coverts replaced by brown. Tail feathers brown terminally with a spot of white.

Hab.- Throughout the Himalayas from Cashmere to Sikkim, where and in Turkestan it breeds in the pine districts, and descends into the valleys during the cold season. Frequents thick brushwood or long grass jungle. In the Punjaub and N.-W. Provinces it is less common. In Assam, and probably Upper Bengal, it frequents similar situations. Of its nidification nothing authentic is known. Mr. Hume had a nest and some eggs brought to him in Native Sikkim during June, found in a deep crevice in a rock at an elevation of about 12,000 feet. The nest was a saucer-shaped pad of very fine moss and fern roots, closely-felted together. The eggs, two in number, were regular ovals, slightly compressed towards the small end. Colour uniform pale salmon buff. Size 0.9 x 0.67 inch.

Himalayan Ruby Throat (Calliope pectoralis)

Calliope pectoralis, Gould.
The Himalayan Ruby - Throat.

Calliope pectoralis, Gould, Jerd. B. Ind. ii, p. 150; Hume, Rough Draft N. & E no. 513.

Of the nidification of the Himalayan Ruby - Throat nothing very authentic is known. A nest, said to belong to this species, was sent me from Native Sikhim, where it was found in June in a deep crevice in a rock, at an elevation of about 12,000 feet. The nest is only a warm saucer - shaped pad of very fine moss and fern - roots closely felted together.

The eggs, of which it contained two, are regular ovals, slightly compressed towards the small end.

The shell is fine, but exhibits scarcely any gloss. In colour the eggs are a uniform pale salmon - buff.

As these were brought in by native collectors, much reliance cannot be placed on them. At the same time all the eggs brought in by the same men with which we were previously acquainted were correct, and it is quite as likely as not that these may be so also, though Pallas says that those of the nearly - allied C. camtschatkensis are greenish.

The eggs measure 0.9 and 0.91 in length, and 0.67 and 0.66 in breadth respectively.

Mr. Brooks remarks : -" Found beyond the Pir Panjal Pass, frequenting large beds of broken rock on the grassy hill - sides where they breed. The song is pretty and Accentor - like."

Colonel J. Biddulph writes from Gilgit : -First seen on May 1, by which time it was in full breeding - plumage. It breeds at 10,000 feet. Evidently two broods are produced in the year."

The White-tailed Ruby-throat, Jerd.

Coloration. Male. After the autumn moult the whole upper plumage, wing-coverts, and sides of the neck are dark slaty, blacker on the crown ; forehead and a short supercilium white; middle of chin and of throat bright crimson ; lores, sides of head, sides of chin and of throat, and the whole breast deep black, every feather fringed with ashy; abdomen, vent, and under tail-coverts white ; wings brown, edged with olivaceous ; middle tail-feathers black, the others with the basal half white and the terminal half black tipped with white. In summer the ashy fringes are cast and the upper plumage is tinged with olivaceous.

Female. Olive-brown, the outer webs of the quills suffused with fulvous; lores, edge of forehead, and a short supercilium dingy white ; chin and middle of throat white, contrasting with the ashy-brown of the sides of the throat and the breast ; abdomen pale fulvous; middle tail-feathers olive-brown, the others blackish brown tipped with white.

The nestling has the upper plumage fulvous-brown, much darker on the crown, all the feathers with fulvous streaks ; lower plumage fulvous, all the feathers margined with dark brown; the tail-feathers at first tipped with fulvous instead of white, and the male from the earliest age has the base of the tail white. At the first autumn moult the young male assumes the dark upper plumage of the adult male, but retains the lower plumage of the adult female; traces of the black breast are assumed during the first summer, but the breast does not become fully plumaged till the moult of the second autumn. The female becomes adult at the first autumn moult.

Bill black, brownish at tip and base of lower mandible ; iris brown ; feet brown ; the tarsi rather livid ; claws dusky (Scully).

Length about 6 ; tail 2.4 ; wing 3 ; tarsus 1.2; bill from gape .75.

Distribution. A constant resident on, or a summer visitor to, the' higher portions of the Himalayas from Gilgit to Sikhim and Bhutan. A winter visitor to the intermediate and lower ranges of the same mountains, being occasionally found in the plains at the foot as in the Bhutan doars and at Sultanpur in Oudh. In summer this species is also found in Turkestan.

Habits, &c. Breeds in Kashmir and Sikhim at 10,000 feet and upwards. A nest, said to belong to this species and found in Sikhim, is described as being a saucer-shaped pad of fine moss and roots placed in a deep crevice of a rock. The eggs are described as being pale salmon-buff and as measuring about .9 by .66.

The females and immature birds of both species are inseparable.

Bill and legs black ; iris brown (Cockburn).

Length about 6; tail 2.3; wing 3; tarsus 1.2; bill from gape .75.

Distribution. A winter visitor to the Himalayas from Sikhim to the Dikrang valley in Assam, extending to the Khasi hills, where it is very common at Shillong; Godwin-Austen procured this species at Mymensing and Anderson near Bhamo. In summer this bird is found in Tibet and Kansu.

Eastern Ruby-throat (Calliope pectoralis confusa)

(544) Calliope pectoralis confusa.

The Eastern Ruby-throat.

Luscinia pectoralis confusa Hartert, Vog. Pal. i, p. 741 (Sikkim) Calliope pectoralis. Blanf, & Oates, ii, p. 103 (part.).

Vernacular names. Duogulugajao (Cachari).

Description. Differs from C. p. pectoralis in being very much deeper-coloured above and below; the tail is nearly always a blackish brown and the upper parts a deeper slaty, whilst the fore crown is blackish over a wider area.

Colours of soft parts as in the preceding bird.

Measurements. "Wing 68 to 75 mm.; tail 57 to 62 mm.

Distribution. Eastern Himalayas from Sikkim to the extreme East of Assam North of the Brahmaputra and South Tibet. In winter it is found throughout Assam, Manipur, Cachar and Sylhet.

Nidification. Nest and eggs appear to be exactly like those of Calliope calliope. Eggs taken by Capt. Steen, I.M.S.,on the 22nd June near Chumbi Valley, Tibet, are larger, measuring 22.2 x 15.4 mm. The nest was found on the ground in a hollow under the shelter of a bush.

Habits. Those of the genus. This seems to be a bird of very high levels breeding from 10,000 ft. up to at least 14,000 ft. In winter it does not wander into the plains, though it is common in and adjacent to the foot-hills in the Cachar and Sylhet districts.

Himalayan Ruby-throat (Calliope pectoralis pectoralis)

(543) Calliope pectoralis pectoralis.

The Himalayan RUBY-throat.

Calliope pectoralis Gould, Icones Av., pt. ii, pl. iv (1837) (West Himalayas) *, Blanf. & Oates, ii, p. 103.

Vernacular names. Daogulugajao (Cachari).

Description. - Adult male. Forehead and short supercilium white; whole upper surface slaty-grey, more or less tinged with ashy and darker next the white forehead; lores, sides of the head, chin and throat black ; ear-coverts and behind them greyer; wing-coverts like the back ; quills dark brown edged with olive-rufous ; tail dark brown, sometimes blackish, the lateral feathers white on rather more than the basal half and tipped white ; chin and throat bright crimson; breast black, fringed with olive-brown or ashy-brown; remainder of lower parts white, the flanks suffused with grey or, occasionally, with olive-brown. In breeding plumage the upper parts are more ashy and the breast is wholly black or almost so.

Colours of soft parts. Iris dark brown or hazel; bill black, lighter at the tip ; legs and feet brown, fleshy-brown or plumbeous brown.

Measurements. Total length about 155 mm.; wing 68 to 78 mm.; tail 56 to 64 mm.; tarsus about 30 mm.; culmen about 14 mm.

Female. Whole upper plumage olive-brown; wing-quills edged with fulvous ; tail-feathers dark brown, the lateral feathers tipped with white ; lores, edge of forehead and short supercilium dingy-white; chin and throat dull white; sides of head, chin and throat, breast and flanks fulvous-brown fading to fulvous-white on the abdomen.

Colours of soft parts. Iris brown; bill and feet as in the male.

Measurements. A little smaller than the male, wing 68 to 72 mm.

Nestling. Above brown, darker on the crown, each feather with a fulvous central streak; wing-coverts like the back; chin whitish; breast and flanks fulvous, the feathers edged with dark brown ; centre of abdomen and under tail-coverts buffy-white.

The male from the earliest age has the base of the tail white.

The young male assumes the adult male plumage described above in the first autumn but does not attain the red and black breast until the following spring. A few individuals, however, retain the female upper plumage until the second autumn moult.

Distribution. The Himalayas from Afghanistan and Baluchistan, Kashmir, Ladak, G-arhwal and the Simla States to Nepal. In winter it descends to the foot-hills and occasionally a short way into the adjacent plains of the North-West districts of India.

Nidification. The Himalayan Buby-throat breeds on the N.W. frontier of India between 9,000 and 14,000 fe"et during June; in Gilgit, Kashmir and N.W. Ladak in June and July between 11,000 and 14,000 feet. It makes a domed nest of grass, lined with the same, placed on the ground among thick tussocks of grass, scrubby bushes, etc., often on the banks of small streams, at other times far from any water. Both Whitehead and Col. A. E. Ward describe the nest as a very roughly-made untidy affair.

The eggs number from three to five, generally four, and are quite indistinguishable from those of the last bird. Thirty eggs average 21.5 x 15.3 mm.: the maxima are 23.2 x 16.3 inm., and the minima 20.4 X 15.0 and 20.8 x 14.5 mm.

Habits. Similar to those of Calliope calliope.

On the North-West Frontier this bird seems to be a favourite foster-parent for the Cuckoo (C. canorus telephonus).

Tibet Ruby-throat (Calliope tschebaiewi)

(545) Calliope tschebaiewi.

The Tibet Ruby-throat.

Calliope tschebaiewi Przewalski, Mongol i. Stran. Tang., ii, p. 44 (1876); Blanf. & Oates, ii, p. 104.

Vernacular names. Daogulugajao (Cachari).

Description. Differs from all races of pectoralis in having a broad white moustachial streak; the forehead is black or only narrowly white, and the white supercilium, though narrower, extends to the back of the ear-coverts; the white on the base of the lateral tail-feathers is not so wide; the upper parts are generally more olive-brown, less slaty.

Colours of soft parts as in the other species.

Measurements. Total length about 160 mm.; wing 73 to 81 mm.; tail 58 to 66 mm.; tarsus 33 mm.; culmen 14 to 15 mm.

Distribution. Breeding Ladakh, Tibet and Kansu; Sikkim, Bhutan Dooars, Assam and North Burma. In Winter it extends throughout the Burmese Hills, Yunnan, Siam and into the plains of Bengal and Assam.

Nidification. The nests of this Ruby-throat are the usual domed, grass structures placed in hollows on the ground under shelter of tufts of grass or bushes. Eggs taken by Przewalski on the 17th May are like those of C. calliope and measure 20.5 x 15.0 to 15.5 mm. Eggs taken at Phoulbiang, Ladak, for Col. Ward and sent to me with a skin are very pale blue and measure about 24.1 x 16.2 mm. These were taken on the 11th June at about 12,000 feet.

Habits. This bird appears to be less of a skulker than others of the genus. It is common in Assam in Winter and may then be seen much in the open and in thin scrub, hunting for its insect-prey quite as much amongst the grass and bushes as,on the ground. It has the same funny little habit of running a few paces and then flicking its tail hard over its back. It has a sweet little song of four or five notes only, but may be heard singing this often before it leaves the plains in late Spring.
