Common in the deep woods at Fuji, breeding early in Jane. Ocea- 
sionally seen at Chiusenji in September. 
This bird is easily attracted by imitating its mellow whistling note. 
Young in first plumage; entire upper parts dull olive brownish; all 
the feathers edged with dusky, and with large ochraceous centers, thus 
giving the bird a very streaked and spotted appearance. Wing dusky 
brownish or bluish (in males); shoulder and greater wing-coverts broadly 
edged with ochraceous. 
Under parts strongly suffused with ochraceous; all the feathers edged 
with dusky. 
Bill brownish; mouth and base of under mandible yellow; tarsi and 
toes dusky yellowish; claws dusky. 4
