All this series shows very distinctively the characters of 

 the northern race of the species, having both upper and 

 under tail-coverts falling short of the tip of the tail by 

 considerably more than the length of the tarsus. Young 

 males which have not yet assumed the adult dress can 

 apparently be distinguished from the females by their deeper, 

 less greenish tint with a decided gloss on the edges of the 

 upper tail-coverts.
