First pluma.ge : female. Upper parts more reddish than in adult : 

 throat, jugiilum, and breast pale fulvous-white, each feather on breast 

 tipped with pale drab, giving that part of the plumage a delicately sou- 

 tellate appearance. Abdomen whitish ; sides, anal region, and crissum 

 dull rusty-brown, becoming almost chestnut on the crissum. No trace 

 of bars on feathers of the body either above or beneath. From specimen 

 in my collection shot at Cambridge, Mass., July 9, 1873.
