’The Green Indian Fly-Catcher, 
T his Figure reprefents the Bird of its natural Bignefs ; it is a 
flender-biird Bird, and of that Tribe that generally feed on 
Inieds. 
The Bill is black or dusky, a little inclining to Yellow near the Head,, 
and a very little bowed downwards ; the Top of the Head, upper Side 
of the Neck and Back, are of a Green-colour, pretty dark ; the Rump 
and upper Coverts of the Tail green, but fomething lighter ; the Sides of 
the Head, Throat, Breaft, Belly, Thighs, and covert Feathers under the 
Tail, are Yellow, a little clouded with Green ; on the Head and Sides of 
the Neck, the dark Green of the upper Side, and the Yellow on the 
lower, lofe themfeh’es in each other : The Wings are dark Brown or 
Black ; feme of the Quills are yellow on the Edges of their Webs ; the 
firft and fecond Row of covert Feathers on the upper Side of the - Wings 
have white Tips, which make two Bars of White a-crofs the upper Part 
* of each Wing ; the Infide of the Wing Feathers is fomething fainter 
than the Outfide ; the Tail is of the fame dark Green-colour with the 
Back ; the Legs, Feet, and Claws, are of a dark Brown, or Black- 
colour. 
Mr. Dandridge obliged me with this Bird ; it was fent to him, with 
others, from Bengal, In my Searches I cannot difcover any Delcription 
agreeing with this, fo I conclude it will be accepted as a Bird hitherto 
undefcribed. The Knglip Birds that come neareft it, are the Golden- 
crown d Wreny and a little yellow Bird, without Name, defcribed by 
Willoughby in his Ornithology, p, 2 27, 228. Mine agrees with the firft 
of thefe in the Colour and Marks of the Vvang, but wants the golden 
Creft, is brighter colour’d in the Body, and hath a longer Tail. It agreef^ 
lefs with the fecond, that having no Marks in its Wings. Mine feemed 
to be almoft double the Bignefs of either of them. 1 believe it may be of 
that Willoughby calls Fig-eaterSy p, 216. of his Ornithology, they 
being Birds of this Size and Shape ; but none of them are fo Green as my 
Bird
