LENGTH ten inches ; breadth seventeen ; weight four ounces. 

 Bill yellowish, with a black tip ; at the gape a few black bristles ; 

 crown of the head, and hind part of the neck, cinereous olive, the 

 first spotted with black ; the upper surface of the body, and wings 

 chestnut brown ; rump ash-colour ; quills the same, with pale edges ; 

 fore part of the neck, and breast yellowish, inclining to rufous, and 

 streaked with dusky ; belly, thighs, and vent dusky-white ; tail 

 black brown ; legs blackish. 



The female has less of the rufous tinge on the breast. 



This is a migratory species, coming into England about the 

 beginning of October, and departing in April : the summer retreat 

 is in the more northern parts, viz. Russia, Siberia, Kamtschatka, 

 Sweden, and Norway ; it sometimes is in prodigious flocks, but in 

 mild winters few or none are seen, depending on the approaching 

 rigour of the season in the place of its summer retreat. We are 

 informed, that they migrate into France and Italy, but do not arrive 

 there till the beginning of December.*
