In general appearance similar to A. carolinensis, but easily dis- 

 tinguished by the rictal bristles having no lateral filaments, by its 

 smaller size, shorter wings and tail, aud generally darker coloration 

 above and somewhat more rufous colour on the lower parts : the 

 white or olivaceous-buff terminal patches on the rectriees are, as a rule, 

 less extended, never occupying more than half the length. Total 

 length about 10'5 to 11 inches, wing (rS to T'J:, tail 5'2, tarsus 0-7. 



The female diflers from the male in the same way as that of 

 C carolinensis. 



Yoking birds are much lighter, the feathers being whitish bufi" 

 with a brownish-black rhomboid or rounded spot near the tip and 

 having dusky bases ; the lower parts banded. In a more advanced 

 age they are similar to the adult bird, but more rufous.
