The bill is shorter than the length of the cranium. Ulna vertical in shaft. The internal condyle of the tibiotarsus is round. The tuberal of the supratendinal bridge is very well developed. The tarsometatarsus is relatively long, 2/3 of the length of the tibiotarsus. The middle toe is shorter than the tarsometatarsus.
