SIZE of a Thrush ; length nine inches : breadth nineteen ; the 

 weight from three to four ounces. Bill one inch, black, turning a 

 little upwards; irides hazel; the forehead, throat, and belly white; 

 the breast black ; round the neck a collar of black ; from thence a 

 second bounds the sides of the neck, and passes over the forehead ; 

 head, and lower part of the neck behind white, the first streaked 

 with dusky lines; back ferruginous, mixed with black; tail coverts 

 white, crossed with a black bar ; tail black, tipped with white ; the 

 wing coverts cinereous brown, the lower series edged with white ; 

 quills black, the ends of the secondaries white ; tertials ferruginous 

 and black ; legs rather short, dull orange. 



Both sexes are said to be nearly alike, when in full plumage, but 

 in the progress towards the adult state are found to vary considerably. 

 In Mr. Edwards's bird, the lower part of the back^ and rump are 

 white . Willughby does not mention any white on the forehead or 

 chin ; the middle of the back said to be white ; yet in other things 

 does not much vary.
