ochraceous-biiff Süd the general cast of the npper parts a decidedly 

 rusty browD, such specimens Coming* chiefly from the coast of 

 Washington Territory and British Columbia. The rump is a bright 

 rusty fulvous, and the crissum always a deep ochreous-buff, Of 

 the European races, this most resembles hriitanica in the color 

 of the Upper parts, some specimens being very similar indeed; 

 but the crissum is constantly much more deeply bufiP. In the 

 darker-colored examples there is some resemblance to mexicana, 

 in fact some of them have been labelled as such ; but the rump 

 is much less chestnut, the primary coverts are always tipped with 

 whitish, and the lower parts more whitish. 



Hab. : Pacific coast of North America, breeding from mountains 

 of Southern California to British Columbia.
