(30,654.) Wholt top of head and nape black. Sides of the lower neck and 

 dorsal surface of body uniform cinnamon red (darkest anterioily), with the 

 upper tail coverts only obsoletely banded with blackish. On raising the 

 feathers, however, those on the lower part of the back are seen to be streaked 

 longitudinally with white, having the usual blackish suffusion externally. 

 Greater wing coverts and, to some extent, the scapulars, like the back, biU 

 with one or two pairs of rather obsolete rounded black spots, separated 

 ob.scurely by a pale shade of the ground color. Alular feathers black, edged 

 with wliitish. Quills black, with five or six pale yellowish-red spots on the 

 outer webs ; internally edged irregularly with whitish. Innermost or expotied 

 secondaries with transverse dusky bars. Tail feathers black, broadly termi- 

 nated by white, which is much soiled with brownish at the end ; the lateral 

 feathers with quadrate white spots on the outer web ; the central feathers 

 hlack with rather narrow transverse bands of pale brownish. 



Whole under parts uniform yellowish white, without streaks or spots, soiled 

 with reddish behind ; throat purer white ; a conspicuous white line from 

 nostrils over eye to nape ; lores, and a broad line behind the eye, blackish ; 

 rest of cheeks white. Bill black ; the inferior edge of lower jaw at ba.-^e 

 whitish. Legs dark plumbeous. 



A second specimen, 29,428, is very similar, excepting In having concealed 

 spots on the dorsal feathers, similar to those described on the scapulars and 

 wing coverts of the preceding. The under parts are entirely immaculate. 

 This probably represents the spring plumage — tlie former the autumnal 



Young specimens not yet fully fledged, in the museum of the Philadelphia
