TURDUS USTULATUS, Nuttall. 
Turdus ustulatus, Nurratt, Man, Orn. I, (2d ed.) 1840, 400. Columbia river ; (printed cestulatus by a typographical 
error.) 
Spe. Cu.—Third and fourth quills longest ; second intermediate between fourth and fifth. Tail nearly even. Upper parts 
uniform reddish brown, with a faint olivaceous tinge. Fore part of the breast tinged with brownish yellow, becoming paler to 
the chin ; the remaining under parts are white. The sides of the throat and the fore part of the breast with small distinct triangular 
spots of well defined brown, much darker than the back ; the sides of the breast more obsoletely spotted, and the sides of the 
body washed with olivaceous yellow brown. The tibiae are yellowish brown. Nearly the whole of the lower mandible, except 
the rami, is brown. Length, 7.50; wing, 3.75; tail, 3.00; tarsus, 1.12. 
Hab.—Coast region of Oregon and Washington Territories. 
This species, in the entire uniformity in color of its upper plumage, is related to ZT. swain- 
sonti and to 7’. fuscescens. The former, however, has the upper plumage of a perfectly uniform 
dull greenish olive, and the spots in the fore breast are larger and better defined. It has much 
resemblance to 7. fuscescens. The upper parts, however, show less red, having this of a faint 
olive shade. The spots on the sides of the throat and on the breast are darker and well defined 
instead of being rather obsolete ; they are decidedly darker than the ground color above instead 
of lighter. The spots on the hinder part of the breast, too, are more distinct ; the axillaries 
brownish yellow instead of ash. The tibial feathers are yellowish brown instead of whitish 
ash, and the sides of the body more yellowish brown. The color of the tibiae isa strong feature. 
The bill and feet are shorter. The olivaceous spots on the hind part of the breast extend nearly 
to the central line, and are otherwise quite conspicuous, while in /fuscescens there is little or 
nothing of this.
