Adult male and female. Resemble C. chuhar, the only tangible 

 differences being that in the present species the lores are black 

 instead of white (though it must be remarked that in some specimens 

 of C. chid-ar the small spot of black feathers is sometimes present 

 below the nasal opening), and the ear-coverts are a mixture of black 

 and buff instead of chestnut. The throat- space circumscribed by 

 the black baud is pure white, while as a rule in C. chulcar it is 

 more or less suffused with buff. 



Male. Total length 15 inches, wing 6"6, tail 3-6, tarsus 1*8. 



Female. Total length 13-6 inches, wing 6-2, tail 3-4, tarsus 1-7. 



Hah. Mountains of Europe : Eastern Pyrenees, Alps, Carpathians, 

 Apennines, and Balkans, also Sicily. [It is doubtful if this bird is 

 the species found in Greece.]
