THE CIRL BUNTING 



is much more dingy in general coloration, and wants the 

 black and yellow markings on the head, and may readily 

 be distinguished from the female Yellow Bunting, which 

 she much resembles, by the olive rump and upper tail- 

 coverts. The nestling resembles the female, but is even 

 more dull in coloration. The Cirl Bunting may, in any 

 plumage, always be recognised by the olive-green rump 

 and wing and upper tail-coverts.
