^"T^HIS fpecies being unknown to us, we muffc 



T" borrow its defcription from Mr. Willoughby. In p e f cr 

 fize it is fcarce fo big as a linnet. The head, neck, 

 back, wings and tail, from am-color, or dufky, in- 

 cline to green : the quil-feathers moufe- color, edged 

 with green. The inner coverts of the wings are yel- 

 low : the belly is of a filvery white ; the breaft darker, 

 tinged with yellow : the infide of the mouth red : the 

 legs bluifh, or of a lead color. This bird is found in 

 York/hire ; from whence it was fent to Mr. Willoughby^ 

 by his friend Mr. Jeffop: perhaps it is the fpecies 

 known in that county by the name of the beam-bird^ 

 becaufe it neilles under the ends of beams in out- 

 buildings, &c.
