 fore part of the neck white, fparingly marked with brown fpocs : 

 belly white, marked with longifh ftreaks of black ; the ends of 

 the feathers being black for fome length : the quills, rump, and 

 tail, as in the male : in both, the fides of the body have feveral 

 black featherSj above two inches in length, arifing at the junftion 

 of the wing. In bochj the bill and legs are black, and a fpur 

 ferves inftead of a hind toe.- In ihort, this reputed female is fo like 

 the Grey Sandpiper, that, the belly excepted, which in tiie Englifb 

 one is not marked with black, one muft fuppofe them to be mere 

 varieties of each other.
