This is also a form "which is closely allied to C. virginianus, or 

 rather by its small size to C. chaj^mani from Florida. It differs 

 from the latter merely in the stronger rufous tint, which, pervades 

 the -whole pli;mage, especially the scapulars, sides of the head and 

 neck, lower throat and upper breast, abdomen and under wing- 

 coverts. In adult males the under tail-eovcrts are peculiarly 

 coloured, being rusty buff crossed by a few dark brown bars and 

 some white spots. The wings are as a rule somewhat shorter 

 than in C. cJiapmani, measuring 6*6 to 7 inches in length,
