LENGTH four inches and one-third. Bill dusky; top of the

 upper parts black, edged with yellowish green ; throat and under 

 parts whitish ; across the wing coverts two yellowish bars ; quills and 

 tail dusky, edged with olive-green and whitish ; the inner webs of 

 the three outer feathers of the latter yellowish white, from the middle

Inhabits Canada, and the northern parts of America ; first seen 

 the beginning of April, among low shrubs, and under branches of 

 the Red Cedars ; departs in autumn. This and the Red-throated

 differ only in being more or less in an adult state.
