and upper mandible, dusky, lower, orange ; stripe over the 
eye, and lower eyelid, pure white ; whole upper parts, a glossy 
olive, with greenish reflections, each feather marked with 
waving spots of dark brown ; wing-quills, deep dusky ; bastard 
wing, bordered and tipped with white ; a spot of white on the 
middle of the inner vane of each quill-feather except the first ; 
secondaries, tipped with white ; tail, rounded, the six middle 
feathers greenish olive, the other three on each side white, 
barred with black ; whole lower parts, white, beautifully 
marked with roundish spots of black, small and thick on the 
throat and breast, larger and thinner as they descend to the 
tail; legs, a yellow clay colour; claws, black. 
The female is as thickly spotted below as the male ; but 
the young birds of both sexes are pure white below, without 
any spots ; they also want the orange on the bill. Those 
circumstances I have verified on numerous individuals.

it to his venerable friend Bartram. It is admitted by Temminck as an occa- 
sional straggler upon the Dutch and German coasts, and is mentioned as having 
been only once met with by himself. Bonaparte asserts, on the authority 
of Say, that it is very common in some districts of the extensive Missouri 
prairies; thus confirming the opinion of Wilson, that its residence is in the
