THE CIRL BUNTING 199 



streaked with brown. The female closely resembles 

 the female Yellow Bunting, but there is no trace of 

 yellow on the head ; the under parts are darker and 

 more streaked, whilst the rump and upper tail- 

 coverts are olive instead of chestnut. The nestling 

 plumage resembles that of the female, but is even 

 much duller still. The total length of this Bunting 

 is about five and a half inches.
