He Rose or Carnation-colour’d Ouzel of Aldrov. Lib . i6. Cap. 15. 
T he Print here reprefents the Bird of its natural Bignefs ; it is 
fhap d pretty much like a Starling.^ tho’ the Tail is fomething 
longer, yet not fo long as the ; it hath on its Head a Creft, 
here drawn as it appeared in the dead Bird preferv’d dry, which Creft 
eredfed in the living Bird muft, doubtlefs, appear very beautiful : The 
Bill is of a middling Length and Thicknefs, bowed a little downward 
and ending in a Point ; the Point is of a black or dusky Colour, which 
gradually changes into a dirty Flefh- colour towards the Head ; the Angles 
of the Mouth are -pretty deep, reaching almoft under the Eyes ; the 
whole Head, Neck, Wings and Tail, are Black, with a bright fhining 
Glofs of Blue, Purple and Green, changing Colour as it is ^differently 
turned to the Light ; the Covert-feathers within-fide of the Wings are 
Black, with dirty white Edges ; the Quills within-fide are of a dirty, 
blackifh Brown ; the Breaft, Belly, Back, Rump, and leffer Coverts of 
the Wings, are of a Rofe or Bloffom-colour, feeming to be a Mixture of 
lighter and darker Parts ; there are fprinkled on the Belly, Coverts of 
the Wings, and Rump, a few black Spots ; the Thighs, lower Belly, 
and Coverts under the Tail, are of a dusky dull Black ; the Legs and 
Feet are made after the ufual form, the outer and middle Toe join’d a 
little way ; both Legs and Feet are of a dirty Orange-colour; the Claws 
Black. 
I take this Bird to be a Cock, becaule Ti^illoughby P. 194. 
tranflated from Aldrovandus, fays the Hen hath not fo bright a Black as 
the Cock ; it is fiid to frequent Dung-heaps. Jd^illoughby Defcription 
feems to be too brief, therefore I choofe ftridly to defcribe this Bird from 
Nature, having the Advantage of feeing it, which Mr. Willoughby had 
not : But whoever will take the trouble to compare this Defcription with 
that of Aldrovandus^ I believe will agree with me that this muft be the 
fame Bird he has defbrib d. You may fee this Bird very perfedt, curioufly 
fluffed and fet on a Perch at S alters Coffee-houfe in Chelfea, where I had 
Liberty to diaw it. Tho this Bird is not a Native of England, yet it was 
fhot at Norwood, near London ; for it often happens that Birds, not 
Natives of our Ifland, are, through Storms or other accidental Caufes 
unknown to us, brought over hither. The TJpupa or Hoopoe, being alfo 
a foreign Bird, was fhot ^X-Norwood, and is likewife preferv’d at Salters 
Coffee houfe with this.
