Provincial — Greater Redpole, Rose Linnet, Grey Linnet. 



This bird has been considered by most of our authors as 

 two distinct species, under the titles of the Common or Brown 

 Linnet and the Greater Redpole. This error has evidently 

 arisen from the altered appearance it bears at particular ages, 

 and during the different seasons of the year. These changes 

 in all probability had not been suspected, as they certainly 

 had not been traced by the earlier naturalists, and on the au- 

 thority of their reputation, succeeding writers sanctioned such 

 mistakes, without giving themselves the trouble of farther 



Syn. of adult 

 / Male in sum- 

 mer plumage.
