CALCARIUS LAPPONICUS ALASCENSIS Ridgway. 

 ALASKAN LONGSPTTR. 



Similar to C. I. lapponicus, but decidedly lighter in color, especially 

 in winter plumage; in summer, adults with ground color of upper parts 

 light buffy grayish brown, with little, if any, rusty tinge, even on wing- 

 coverts and tertials, and the black streaks relatively narrower than in 

 C. I. lapponicus, the chestnut-rufous or deep cinnamon-rufous of the 

 hindneck also averaging paler than in O. I. lapponicus,' winter speci- 

 mens (adults and young) with upper parts conspicuously paler and more 

 buffy than corresponding plumages of O. I. lapponicus; young in first 

 plumage much brighter buffy, both above and on chest, than that of 

 C. I. lapponicus, with the blackish streaks narrower, and outer webs of 

 greater wing-coverts and secondaries much lighter chestnut-brown.
