THE BIRD-LIFE OF LONDON 
resembles the male in colour, but is a trifle duller, and 
the forehead is not so brilliant a yellow. The autumn 
plumage is greener than that of summer. ‘The nestlings 
are browner above, the eye-stripe is buff, the throat and 
chest are suffused with buff, and there are many dusky 
spots on the latter.
