THIS is alfo a bird of pafTage : but we are not 

 certain whether it quits this ifland, but are ra- 

 ther inclined to think it only fhifts its quarters. The Defer, 

 head and back are of a pale reddifh brown, regularly 

 fpo.tted with black: over each eye is a narrow white 

 ftroke, beneath that is a broad bed of black, which 

 extends from the bill to the hind part of the head : the 

 bread is of a reddifh yellow : the belly paler : the 

 quil-feathers are brown, edged with a yellowifh 

 brown : the upper part of the wing is marked with 

 two white fpots : the lower part of the tail is white, 

 the two middle feathers excepted, which are wholly- 

 black : the upper part of the others are of the fame 

 color. The colors of the female are far lefs agree- 

 able: in lieu of the white and black marks on the 

 cheeks, is one broad pale brown one : and the white 

 on the wings is in far .lefs quantity than that of the 

 male.
