THe specimens we had an opportunity of 
examining, differ a little in colors, both from 
Mr. /Villughby’s description, and from Mr. 
Edwards's figure. The forehead, chin, and lower 
part of the neck in ours were brown, inclining 
to ash color; the back and scapulars deep 
brown, edged with ash color; the coverts of 
the wings with white, the edges of the lower 
order deeply so, forming a white bar; the 
breast, sides, and belly, white; the two first 
streaked with brown; the coverts of the tail 
marked with white and dusky spots alternately ; 
the tail ash colored, the,outmost feather on each 
side white; the legs were of a bluish grey; 
and the toes, as a special mark, divided to the 
very bottom; the weight four ounces and a 
half.
