Adult male in winter plumage. Similar to H. bairdi, and having 

 the same black feet and toes, but distinguished by its slightly smaller 

 size and its more uniform ashy-grey colour ; there is also decidedly 

 more white on the rump and upper tail-coverts, the white generally 

 forming a band between the lower back and the tail : this is not, 

 however, always a distinguishing feature, as the central upper tail- 

 coverts are blackish like the tail-feathers, although generally hidden 

 by the other white upper tail-coverts ; the sides of the body are 

 not pure white, but are marked or mottled with brown : " bill aDd 

 feet dusky ; iris brown " (J. J. Audubon). Total length 6'5 inches, 

 culinen 1, wing 4*7, tail L75, tarsus - 9. 



Adult male in summer plumage. Much more rufous than in 

 winter, the feathers being black, broadly bordered with rufous ; 

 the upper tail-coverts white, with a few dusky marks on the central 

 and lateral ones ; the head rufous, with streaks of black ; base of 

 forehead, eyebrows, and sides of face white, narrowly lined with 

 blackish ; the upper edge of the ear-coverts rufous ; chin white, as 

 also the abdomen and under tail-coverts ; the throat, fore-neck, and 

 chest being very faintly tinged with sandy buff and minutely 

 streaked or spotted with black, the spots more distinct on the sides 

 of the breast, which are more strongly washed with sandy buff, the 

 spots continued down the sides of the body and flanks, where they 

 are somewhat broken up and take the form of streaks, arrow-head 

 spots, or even bars. Total length 7 inches, culmen - 9, wing 4S5, 

 tail 2, tarsus 0-9. 



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

 length 6 - 3 inches, culmen 0*95, wing 4-7, tail 1-8, tarsus 0"9.
