 sociable gatherings. Their call notes at this time were given almost as

Young birds have the throat, belly, and under tail coverts warmly 

 washed with light sulphury yellow ; the ends of greater and middle wing 

 coverts tipped with ferruginous, making two distinct bars. 



Iris brown ; bill above black, below bright-yellow ; legs and feet black.
