company, forming, as it seemed to me, a very incongraous element in these 

 sociable gatherings. Their call notes at this time were given almost as

Young birds have the throat, belly, and under tail coverts warmly 

 washed with light sulphury yellow ; the ends of greater and middle wing 

 coverts tipped with ferruginous, making two distinct bars. 



Iris broAvn ; bill above black, below bright-yellow ; legs and feet black.
