 White-tailed Sparrow, Gen. Syn. iii. 256. Will. Engl. 250. 



THIS is yellowish above, spotted with chestnut, and streaked with 

 white; head and under parts yellowish white; tail cinereous white. 

 This is thought by M. Temminck to be an accidental Variety of the 

 Ring Finch ; but we own, that there seems some confusion in the 

 four last described, which we cannot set to rights.

 the upper parts of the body reddish ; the under whitish ; tail forked ;

 to be the female of the Pine Bunting.
