LEUCOSTICTE ATRATA Ridgway. 

 BIAGE lETTGOSTICTE. 



Similar in size and pattern of coloration to L. tephrocotis teph- 

 rocotis, but the chestnut-brown of that species replaced by brownish 

 black (adult male) or dusky slate-brownish (adult female and immature 

 male). 



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

 tufts white; sides of crown (over eyes and auriculars) and entire occiput 

 uniform light ash gray; auricular and malar regions, chin, throat, and 

 under parts generally brownish black or deep clove brown, the feathers 

 of the sides, flanks, and abdomen broadly tipped with peach-blossom 

 pink; under tail-coverts and anal region pink, more or less mixed with 

 white, the feathers more or less extensively grayish centrally; hind- 

 neck, back, and scapulars dark sepia brown, the feathers with more or 

 less distinct lighter brown or buffy edgings; rump peach -blossom pink, 

 the feathers gray basally, a dusky bar or space separating the gray 

 from the pink; upper taU-co verts similar, but the underlying darker 

 colors more exposed; lesser and middle wing-coverts peach -blossom 

 pink; greater coverts broadly edged with peach-blossom pink, the 

 concealed portion of the feathers dusky; primary coverts and remiges 

 dusky edged with pink; rectrices dusky edged with light grayish and 

 pink; bill, legs, and feet black. 



Adult male in winter. — Similar to the summer male, but bill yel- 

 lowish, tipped with dusky; light brown or buflfy edgings to scapulars 

 and interscapulars broader and more distinct; feathers of breast, etc., 

 more or less margined with light buflfy grayish, and the pink markings 

 of a softer, more rosy, hue.
