GREY WAGTAIL. 411 
The whole length of the bird seven inches and three- 
quarters, of which the tail-feathers measure nearly half. 
From the carpal joint to the end of the quill-feathers three 
inches: the first three primaries nearly equal in length, and 
the longest in the wing. 
In winter the chin and throat are buffy white, without 
any appearance of black; the breast and belly greyish 
white, tinged with yellow. 
The colours of the female are at all seasons paler than 
those of the male; and the young bird of the year is like 
the adult female bird in winter. 
The vignette below represents on the left hand the foot 
and breast-bone of our Pied Wagtail, and on the right 
hand the foot of Ray’s Wagtail.
