Illus. Br. Orn. 



This species is very locally distributed. Upon the coast it is seldom met with, but in 

 the interior, where the soil is dry and gravelly, and the surface undulated, it is common 

 during the summer months. It is a migratory species. Cuvier and some other naturalists 

 have separated this kind from the Genus Motacilla, making it the type of the Genus Budytes. 

 The only differential character consists in the greater length and straitness of the hinder 

 claw, in which particular it shews its closer affinity to the Genus Anthus.
