' "The color of this bird is dark, about the same as H 1, but quite remarkable. It has 'white flecks' scattered quite 

 thickly over the whole crown of the head, and also two white feathers in rump (otherwise dark grayish brown). Only 9 

 primaries. One under tail covert (middle) white; rest gray. Nothing in ancestry to account for it. The first case this season, 

 and note that it hatched in September." (R 10)
