summer, by reason of the paler margins to the feathers, which 

 become abraded during the breeding-time ; underneath, the difference 

 in the plumage of the two seasons is very slight, the cinnamon 

 colour of the under surface being overshaded with ashy margins to 

 the feathers. The female in winter has more distinct streaks of 

 dusky blackish on the throat and fore neck, but these are also in all 

 probability developed with greater force in young than in old birds. 

 The richness of the colour certainly depends greatly upon the age 

 of the individual, old males being sometimes almost chestnut under- 

 neath. Young males in first winter plumage are streaked on the 

 chest like the old females.
