I ZE of a Sparrow: length five inches. The bill is ftout and 
red: eye-lids of the fame colour: the head and throat black: 
fides of the head under the eyes white : upper parts of the body, 
neck, and breaft, pale afh-colour: belly and thighs pale rofe- 
colour: the vent and under tail coverts nearly white: the tail 
black: legs flefh-coloured. 
The female has the bill and eye-lids very pale red, and wants 
the white on the cheeks; but the edge of the wing is white as 
well as the under tail coverts. 
This fpecies is met with at Fava and the Cape of Good Hope, 
where it does much damage to the rice-grounds. Chiefly known 
by the name of Fava Sparrow. 
It is moft likely a Chinefe bird likewife, as we often meet with 
it in paper-hangings from that country. I think this the more 
likely, as I have feen it among fome Chine/e paintings ; where it 
bore the name of Hung-tzoy.
