Males of the year have the plumage of the adult female. Young 

 in Jirst plumage have ochraceous tips to the wing-coverts and inner- 

 most secondaries ; the feathers of the back have nearly black tips 

 and ochraceous centres ; the feathers of the throat, breast, and 

 flanks have nearly black fan-shaped terminal spots ; the ground- 

 colour of the throat and the eye-stripe is ochraceous. 



The Black-throated Ouzel breeds in the pine-forests of the valley 

 of the Yenesay, in Central Siberia, between lat. 60° and 63°. It 

 probably also breeds in the same latitude in the valley of the Obb, and 

 in a similar climate in the pine region of the Himalayas and Eastern 

 Turkestan. It winters in Western Turkestan, Baluchistan, and 

 North India, occasionally straggling westwards into Europe, where 

 it has been obtained in Russia, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, 

 England, France, and Italy. Eastwards it has occurred on migra- 

 tion as far as Lake Baikal and, in winter, as far as Assam.
