resembles this bird, but differs in having 

 a yellow eyebrow, and no white line on 

 the secondaries. It is also a migrant 

 in the Yangtse Valley. 



Another migrant, the Blue and White 

 Flycatcher, (Cyanoptila cyanomalaena, 

 Temm.) may be distinguished by the 

 blue of the upper parts, the white at 

 the base of the tail feathers, and the 

 breast, black in the male, yellowish 

 white in the female.

Description.— Length male seventeen 

 and one-half inches, of which the tail 

 is about twelve and one-half inches. 

 Female eight inches. Bill and eyelids 

 cobalt blue, angle of mouth green. 

 Tarsus greenish. Iris brown. 



Male has two phases of plumage. 

 In the rufous phase, the general color 

 of the upper parts is a deep rufous, 

 wing quills black along the ribs. Whole 

 head a greenish irridescent black. 

 Breast ashy gray. Eest of the under 

 parts white washed grayish on the 

 flanks. In the white phase, the head 

 remains the same, but the rufous of 

 the upper parts, wings and tail becomes 

 white, with black shaft lines to many 

 of the feathers. 



The change of plumage has caused 

 some confusion in the nomenclature of 

 this bird, and there has been much 

 difference of opinion as to how and 

 when the change takes place. 



Female, very similar to the rufous 

 phase of the male, except the head is 

 duller as is the rufous of the upper 

 parts, and the lower parts are cream 

 white. The tail is much shorter.
