streaked with black ; wing-coverts broadly edged and tipped with 

 yellowish buff ; throat whitish, spotted with black like the breast ; 

 the latter as well, as the flanks yellowish buff, streaked with black. 

 After the first moult the coloration of the adult is assumed, but the 

 plumage is always duller and much paler, and in some birds, pro- 

 bably females, the throat is white without any chestnut. 



Nestling. Yellowish buff, broadly streaked with black, the head 

 more rufous, and the ear-coverts rufous ; underneath white, washed 

 with rufous on the chin and with ochreous buff on the throat and 

 breast, thickly streaked with black on the latter as well as on the 

 flanks and sides of the body ; wings and tail as in adults, with the 

 exception that the wing-coverts are more fulvous at tips. 



Hob. From Northern Europe across Siberia to Northern China, 

 wintering to the south in the Himalayas, Assam, Burmah, and
