6£ YELLOW-HEADED BUNTING. 



outermost tail feathers only have a slight white patch 

 on the inner web; beak brown above, yellow below; 

 feet brown. 



According to Degland the female has the vertex and 

 crop maroon; nape and mantle dull brown, with longi- 

 tudinal black spots; face blackish grey; the maroon 

 band on the neck very narrow; flanks shaded with 

 olive, and marked with large brown spots; the feathers 

 about the carpus whitish grey. 



My figure is taken from a Siberian specimen sent to 

 me by the Rev. H. B. Tristram. It has also been figured 

 by Gould, but the drawing represents too large a bird.
