where it is black in the Common Sparrow. The\ 
whole upper side, head, neck, back, tail, and 
wings, are of a reddish brown colour; the 
middle parts of the feathers being dusky, which 
makes an agreeable variety in the shades of 
the feathers. The edge of the upper part of 
the w^ing, next the breast, is tinged with a 
light yellow. The cheeks, breast, belly, thighs, 
and covert-feathers under the tail, are of a light 
or whitish ash-colour, without spots. ^The legs 
and feet are of a reddish fiesh-colour. 
*< I have,'^ adds Edwards, <^ never seen the 
bird; but thought Mr. Bartram's drawing of it 
very curious, and have reason to be satisfied 
as to his veracity and accuracy. I believe, it 
has not, till now, been know"n to us.'*
