GREY-HEADED FLYCATCHER." 201 
of the common European flycatchers. The size is 
small, and the incumbent crest, when the feathers 
are raised, becomes very conspicuous, the feathers 
being broad, and nearly black in the middle. The 
whole of the head and neck above, as well as the 
chin, throat, and breast beneath, are uniform cinere- 
ous, palest beneath. This colour terminates abruptly 
on the breast beneath and on the neck above ; the 
rest of the upper plumage is olive-yellow, which 
colour also margins the wing and tail-feathers, which 
are otherwise dark-brown : from the breast to the 
under tail-covers is pure and bright yellow, uniform 
in its colour, but paler and mixed with olive on the 
under wing-covers. The three first quills are gra- 
duated, the fourth being the longest ; the tail is 
nearly even, and the feathers broader at their tips 
than is usual in this sub-genus ; the legs are particu- 
larly slender and pale fulvous ; the bristles of the 
rictus, which are thick-set, are nearly as long as 
the bill ; the under mandible is almost white, and 
there is a white ring round the eyelids : feet as in 
Muscipeta.
