As stated, the female is considerably duller, showing traces only of the black on the breast ; 

 the upper parts dull brownish, with darker streaks. Young birds are brown above, with 

 dusky streaks ; beneath white, the breast and sides streaked with brown ; the yellow of the 

 crown and rump distinct, that of the breast barely appreciable. A winter specimen, (7661,) 

 marked male, has the under parts almost pure white, very obsoletely streaked with brown on 

 the breast and sides ; the yellow of throat and breast rather distinct ; two bands of white on 

 the wings instead of one.
