A i/oiinr/ female, evidently in Jirst ivinter i^lumage, resembles the 

 old female described above, but is nearly uniform on the upper sur- 

 face, the head being like the back, with only a very faint indication 

 of dusky centres to the feathers of the crown ; eyebrow and cheeks 

 very pale yellow ; the auricular patch dingy olive ; throat and breast 

 entirely yellow ; abdomen white ; a few dusky streaks on the sides 

 of the breast and flanks. {Mus. Scdvin 4' Godman.) 



Young males in unnter jilwnage resemble the old female and have 

 yellow throats : but the black bases to the latter are always promi- 

 nent, and the same is the case with the crown and back ; the eyebrow, 

 cheeks, and breast are also bright golden yellow. {Mus. Salvin ^- 

 Godinan.)
