“The young bird in first plumage differs from the adults in being everywhere washed with pale 
cinnamon below, marked with faint blackish cross-bars; the general colour above is much less 
olivaceous, with narrow whitish shaft-lines, and all the coverts are conspicuously tipped with 
pale rust " (Bull. Amer. Mus. iii. p. 341). 
I find but very little difference in plumage in this species in the summer and winter seasons, 
and the cinnamon tinge on the breast alluded to by Dr. Allen seems to be generally characteristic of 
female birds in winter plumage, when the outer aspect of the wings is also somewhat more rufous, 
and this is especially the case in freshly moulted young birds. І have an idea that much of the 
rufous colour which besets the head and other parts of the body in some individuals of this species 
is due to a stain from the berries on which they feed. 
The specimen described and figured is a Bahia skin in the Seebohm Collection. (В. B. 8.)
