being obscured by diugy browu, while all the black parts are tipped 

 with ashy whitish. The wings and tail arc rather greener than in 

 the adults. 



Adults in luinter have the whole of the plumage obscured, 

 the rosy parts being hidden by dusky browu, and the black 

 portions tipped with ashy or ochreous brown. The crest is short 

 and not developed to any great extent before the advent of the 

 summer plumage, which is gained by the shedding of the dusky tips 

 to the feathers, a])pareutly a very gradual process. All observers 

 agree that the full rosy plumage takes a considerable time to 

 acquire (cf. Antin. Naum. 1856, p. 404).
