THE Griseous Flycatcher is very much like 

 Motacilla rufa at first sight, but greatly differs 

 from it when examined: its beak and feet are 

 brown : the head, upper parts of the neck and 

 body are grey, tinged with green on the back: 

 the quills and tail-feathers are brown, with pale 

 margins : the under parts of the body are dull 

 white : the sides and flanks are similar in colour 

 to the back : the wings and tail are greyish white 

 below : the bird is four inches and three quarters 

 in length : it makes its appearance in the middle 

 of the United States of North America about the 

 end of April, and departs in the autumn.
