YELLOW-HEADED BUYTIXG. 
ODtermost tail feathers only have a slight white patch

According to Degland the female has the vertex and 
crop maroon; nape and mantle dull brown, with longi- 
tudinal black spots; face blackish grey; the maroon 
band on the neeje very narroAv; flanks shaded with 
olive, and marked with large brown spots; the feathers 
about the carpus whitish grey. 
My figure is taken from a Siberian specimen sent to 
me by the Rev. H. B. d'ristram. It has also been figured 
by Gould, but the drawing represents too large a bird.
