FLY-CATCHING CREEPER. 



Certhia pyrrhoptera. C. cinerea subtus alba, macula auriumfuka 

 subtus nigra t remigibus media rectricibusque cxterioribus Jlavis. 

 Lath. ind. orn. suppl. 



Cinereous Creeper, white beneath, with a fulvous ear-spot black 

 beneath, wings yellow on the middle, and tail on the outside. 



Yellow-winged Creeper. Lath. syn. suppl. 2, 



LENGTH seven inches : wings in some specimens 

 yellow in the middle, in others pale ferruginous ; 

 perhaps owing to the difference of sex : native of 

 New Holland, where it is constantly observed in 

 the act of catching flies. It is for this reason that 

 I have altered Dr. Latham's trivial name of yellow- 

 winged, applied to this species, and which must 

 have been given through oversight; a species of 

 similar name occurring in the first supplement to 

 the General Synopsis.
