LITTLE THRUSH. 
We describe this bird under the name of the 
. Little Thrush; because it is so called by Ed- 
wards, whose excellent figure we have copied. 
The account which he gives of it is as follows—- 
" The upper mandible of the bill is dusky, 
or blackish ; the lower is dusky at the point, 
and yellow toward the head: some short hairs 
arise about the angles of the mouth. It has 
a lightish ring round the eye. The head, up- 
per side of the neck, back, wings, and tail, are 
all of a reddish brown, or clay-colour; not 
at all varying in the shades of the feathers, 
as they do in our English Thrushes. The 
underside of the wings, and of the tail, are ash- 
coloured; except that the inner webs of the 
quills are whitish toward their bottoms. The 
throat, just beneath the bill, is whitish ; the 
breast yellowish, with dusky spots. The 
belly, thighs, and covert-feathers beneath the 
tail, are white, a little shaded with ash-coloured. 
The legs, feet, and claws, are of a flesh-colour.
