 sus, 24.13. 



Adult male in summer. — Forehead and part of crown black; throat 

 dusky grayish or blackish, becoming lighter or more decidedly gray

 deep chocolate brown, the scapulars and interscapulars with dusky 

 shaft-streaks and paler brown margins, the feathers of rump, abdo-

 cotis tephrocotis.
