Détails de l'observation

Candidate location. "This species, which I can nowhere find described, closely resembles G. cristata, but it exceeds it in size, and has in the adult a fuller and longer crest. Its general tint is more sandy rufescent, more of a desert colour, than any specimens of G. cristata met with in the plains of India. [A. O. H.] "This species was common in fields in the plains of Yarkand. Some of the specimens obtained in August werequite young birds, and it is probable that it is a permanent resident and breeds there."
