Notes on the Plumage of North American Sparrows 



SIXTH PAPER 

 By FRANK M. CHAPMAN 



(See frontispiece) 



Chestnut-collared Longspur (Figs. 1-3). This species has the four 

 outer tail feathers largely white, in which respect it dififers from the Lapland 

 and Smith's Longspurs and agrees with McCown's Longspur. From the latter,, 

 aside from other characters, it differs in having the two outer tail-feathers 

 white to the tip, while McCown's Longspur has all but the outer feather 

 conspicuous tipped with blackish. The character seems slight, but is readily 

 obvious in life. 



Fuertes suggests the name V-tail for the Chestnut-collared, and T-tail 

 for the McCown's Longspur, and his colored drawings for this and the next 

 issues of Bird-Lore contain small figures of the birds in the air in which these 

 tail markings are shown
