PT* HIS feems to me to differ in fpecies from the laft. 



Scopoli defcribes his bird as having the upper parts pale ru- 

 fous, fpotted with brown ; the throat and breaft both inclined to 

 rufous 5 and the belly and rump whitifh : there is a whitifh fpot 

 alfo above the outer corner of the eye, and a band of white at the 

 bafe of the wing : the tail feathers are pointed. 



He fays, that it builds on the ground ; is often feen fitting on 

 the tops of plants j migrates early in autumn j and is called 

 by the Italians, Grijato. 



The circumftance of the migrating, gives reafon for fuppofing 

 it a different bird from the other ; otherwife they fomewhat cor- 

 respond.
