TOXOSTOMA REDIVIVUM iGambel). 

 CALIFORNIA THRASHER. 



Adults {sexes alike)." — Above plain deep grayish brown (dark broc- 

 coli brown), the upper tail-coverts and tail more decidedlj^ brown 



oThe seasonal differences in coloration in this species are, according to tlie material 

 examined (about thirty adults) not sulTiciently marked to justify separate descrip- 

 tions. In worn midsummer plumage the brown of the upper parts is more decidcnlly 

 brown, and the grayish brown color of the chest is less pronounced; but as late as June 

 the coloration is practically the same as in autumn and winter.
