Hab. Europe generally; accidental in Greenland; common in Lapland 
(Newton). 
This species in general form resembles the A. ludovicianus, the 
fifth primary in both being abruptly and considerably shorter than 
the outer four; the bill and legs quite similar. The average size 
appears much the same. The upper parts are, however (especially 
the head and back), more distinctly streaked with dusky; the edge 
and inside of wing greenish-yellow, not white, and the upper plumage 
and outer edges of the quills decidedly olive-green. The shafts of 
the middle tail feathers above are whitish, not dark-brown ; the under 
parts greenish-white, conspicuously streaked with dark-brown. The 
bill is dusky, the base and edges paler; the legs dusky flesh color, 
not dark-brown. 
I introduce this species here as having been found in Greenland, 
although Reinhardt mentions only one instance of its occurrence. 
The specimens examined are from Denmark.
