ORD. III. GEN. VII. BUNTING. 



GREEN HEADED BUNTING. 



PI. 84*. 



The bill of this bird is horn colour : head and neck olive green : the beak 

 and wings brown, with" dark markings as in the yellow bunting : breaft brown : 

 belly pale greenifh brown : tail dull black and forked : legs pale brown. 



This bird is the fize of the yellow bunting, which it very much refembles, 

 differing only in the colour of the head and neck, fo that I cannot fuppofe it to 

 be a diftinct fpecies, but merely a fingular variety, or a mule breed betwixt the 

 yellow bunting and fome other bird. It was caught in the fields near London, 

 and probably might be bred by a bird-fancier, and fet at liberty, not having 

 cither fong or beauty to recommend the keeping of it. 



The bird is in the collection of Marmaduke Tunftall, Efq.
