This species is also confined to the highlands but ranges a little lower than 

 the preceding, being found from about 2,000 feet up to 7,000, thus partly 

 overlapping the range of torquatus. Their habits are very similar, except 

 that the present form is more frequently found in partly open spots, 

 especially along roadsides which traverse the forests, where they flit 

 along from bush to bush very much like Juncos {Junco hyemalis), the white 

 in the tail adding to the resemblance.
