of the back in adult males much less distinct than in P. e. canadensis 

 and its northwestern relative, P. e. alascensis. P. e. fiammula is a 

 little more brightly colored than P. e. enudeator^ however, or the red, 

 if not more intense, is of an appreciably purer hue. The female and 

 immature ( ? ) male has, usually, much less of an olive-yellowish wash 

 on the breast, though the golden olive of the head and neck are brighter, 

 and there is much more of golden olive on the rump and upper tail- 

 coverts than in P. e. enucleator. 



The much larger, stouter, and more hooked Ijill alone will serve to 

 readily distinguish this coast form from the two more southern moun- 

 tain forms, P. e. callfornica and P. e. montana.^
