Sr. Cu.—Above olive green, rather brighter on the rump. Beneath entirely greenish yellow, except a little whitish about 
the anus ; the sides tinged with olivaceous. A concealed patch of pale brownish orange on the crown, hidden by the olivaceous 
tips to the feathers. Eyelids and an obscure superciliary line yellowish, a dusky obscure streak through the eye. No white 
spots on wings or tail of female, with little or none of the orange on the crown. Length, 4.70; wing, 2.25; tail, 2.00. 
Hab.—Mississippi river to the Pacific ; south to northern Mexico, 
In some specimens there is a narrow margin of whitish along the inner webs of the tail 
feathers. Sometimes, too, (3993,) the outer primary is edged with white. Some specimens 
appear to be without the orange crown. Occasionally there is a faint trace of obsolete olivaceous 
streaks on the breast. 
An immature specimen (10159) from Fort Umpqua, referred to this species, is much duller 
in plumage, and shows a trace of two brownish bands on the wings.
