The prevailing colour of this obscure species is 
dusky-brown : the back is dusky, the feathers edged 
with cinereous : the lesser wing-coverts are also of 
that colour, but edged with white ; the secondaries 
the same as the back : the under side of the neck and 
body are white : the breast is spotted, and the sides 
streaked with brown : the tail-coverts are barred with 
black and white : the tail itself is cinereous. In- 
habits new York : is probably a young bird.
