white of the breaft which terminates under the cheeks in the latter, - 
-pafles quite round the neck like a collar in the former *. 
The plumage of the female is brown in thofe parts where the male 
is black ; it has no white on the forehead; the white {pot on the wing 
is more obfcure ; and the under parts of the body is of a dufky white. 
The male poffeffes only the full black during the fummer ; as that 
feafon declines, its plumage alters, and it gradually affumes fo per- 
feftly the appearance of the female, that he cannot be diftinguifhed 
from her. 
The neft is ufually built in the hole of a tree, not very near the 
ground; it is compofed of fibres, mixed with mofs, and contains fix 
eg gS. It feeds on Infects. | .
