Adult male. Similar to M. griseinucha, but smaller, and having 

 the brown of the back and breast much brighter and more chestnut- 

 brown ; the black patch on the forehead less extended over the 

 crown, the pearly-grey colour on the latter and on the sides of the 

 face being much lighter and occupying tho malar region also, so 

 that the dark throat is narrowed. Total length 6 inches, culmen - 5, 

 wing 4T5, tail 2-6, tarsus - 75. 



Adult female. Similar to the male in plumage. Total length 

 5'2 inches, culmen Oo, wing 4 - 2, tail 2-6, tarsus 0-75. 



In winter the same change of plumage takes place as in M. grisei- 

 nucha, all the feathers having paler edges, which become abraded in 

 summer. The bill also is yellow. 



A female collected by Capt. Bendire has the whole throat brown 

 like the breast, and also a few brown feathers interspersed among 

 the grey of the cheeks, looking as if it was a hybrid between 

 M. littoralis and M. tephrocotis. 



Hah. In summer, probably the interior mountainous regions of 

 British Columbia ; in winter, the north-west coast from Kodiak 

 southward and eastward in the Itocky-Mountain region to Colorado.
