 tail-feathers with the exception of the middle pair black, with the 

 basal parts and tips white. 



Adult male [^summer plumaije^ Head and neck chestnut, often 

 shading into very dafk chestnut, or even black on the chest and 

 upper breast; birds in their first summer plumage (that is, before 

 they have bred) have the cliest and upper breast narrowly barred 

 with black, while in the old ones these ])arts are perfectly uniform : 

 back, scapulars, rump, and upper tail-coverts reddish brown, 

 narrowly barred with black and often edged with buff or whitish ; 

 rest of the plumage as in winter specimens. This, of course, is the 

 most complete summer plumage and onlj' found in specimens in- 

 liabiting more temperate climates ; in birds from high latitudes all 

 thi> upper parts from the back of the neck remain white, merely 

 iuterspers(Hl here and there with a few summer feathers. 



Adult fi'iiiale \siniinier jdumatje]. The whole of tlie upper parts 

 l)iack. rather nariowly barred and edged with buff; chest, breast, 

 sides, and flanks buff, rather ooarsclv barred and marked with black;
