OMNIVOROUS BIRDS. 



cinereous. Belly and femorals pale ash ; vent reddish chestnut. 

 Quills dusky, the 1st spotless, the 2d with a small mark of white on 

 the tip of the outer web, which mark gradually increases on the fol- 

 lowing feathers, forming a longitudinal spot which is much larger on 

 the secondaries, 4 of which have the vermilion, wax-like appendages. 

 Each feather of the bastard wing is also largely tipt with white, thus 

 producing an additional spot of white ; there is however no yellow 

 on the wing. Tail 3 inches, black, broadly terminated with pale yel- 

 low. Feet and legs black. Iris reddish.
