RED—RED. 193 
RED-NECKED GREBE [No. 338]. This name, which arises 
from the red fore-neck, first occurs in Pennant’s “ Arctic 
Zoology,” and is the name used by most subsequent authors. 
RED-NECKED NicuTsar. See ALGERJAN RED-NECKED 
NIGHTJAR. 
RED-NECKED PHALAROPE [No. 399]. This name seems 
to occur first in Sowerby’s “ British Miscellany ” (1805) ; 
it having been the “ Red Phalarope ” of the older authors, 
including Pennant, Latham, Lewin, Walcott and Montagu, 
and the Red Lobe-foot of Selby. Edwards figures both 
male and female, calling the former “Cock Coot-footed 
Tringa ” and the latter “‘ Red Coot-footed Tringa.” The 
name originates in the red patch on each side of the neck 
of the adult in summer-plumage. 
RED-NECKED SANDPIPER: The DUNLIN (immature- or winter- 
plumage). Occurs in Montagu. 
Rep OwL: The SHORT-EARED OWL. (Dartmoor.) From 
the pale orange of its under plumage (Swainson.) 
Rep PartripcE: The RED-LEGGED PARTRIDGE. (Mac- 
gillivray.) 
Rep Prarmican: The RED GROUSE. (Jenyns.) 
Rep-rumMp: The REDSTART. (East Cleveland, Yorkshire.) 
RED-RUMPED SWALLOW |[No. 196]. So called from its 
rusty-red lower-back. It was first recorded as British in 
1906, when a small party occurred at Fair Isle, Shetlands. 
Rep SanppreeR: The KNOT. (Pennant, Montagu, etc.) 
Swainson gives it as an Irish name, and Nelson and Clarke 
as an obsolete Yorkshire name. 
REDSHANK [No. 394]. The name “ Redshank ” is found in 
Willughby, and occurs in Turner (1544) as ‘‘ Redshanc ” 
and in Merrett as ““ Red Shanks.” Turner seeks to identify 
the species with the Hzmatopodes of Pliny, which is, of 
course, the OYSTERCATCHER. Albin calls it ‘“‘ Totanus 
or Redlegged Horseman ”’ and “ Poole-Snipe.” 
REDSHANK. A name for the FIELDFARE. (Swainson.) 
RED-sHANK GULL: The BLACK-HEADED GULL. (Ireland.) 
RED-sIDED THRUSH: The REDWING. (Macgillivray.) 
RED-SPOTTED BLuETHROAT. See NORWEGIAN BLUE- 
THROAT. This species seems to occur first in Edwards 
(pl. 28) as “ Blue-throated Redstart.” The grounds on 
which the authors of the ‘“‘ Hand-List ” changed the name 
of this species to “‘ Norwegian Bluethroat ”’ appear to have 
been to distinguish it from the Lapland and other forms.
