spotted with black ; vent and thighs white ; lesser wing coverts 

 black, the greater white ; quills dusky ; the middle tail feathers 

 dusky, the three outer ones on each side marked with white on the 

 inner web. 



The female is yellow where the male is orange; and the black 

 streaks more obscure, and less numerous. 



This is scarce in Pennsylvania, coming the beginning of May ; 

 is an active and silent bird. The nest not known. Only one or two 

 found in a season. 



M. Vieillot is of opinion, that the Canada Flycatcher belongs 

 to this species, but the last is a bird in a younger state of plumage, 

 and the colours less lively.
