First plumage. Crown dark brown, faintly tinged with chestnut. A 
median and two lateral stripes of pale brownish-yellow. Best of upper 
parts similar to the adult, but with the rump obscurely spotted, and the 
streaking on the feathers of the interscapular region much broader. Lores 
dull black. Beneath soiled white, thickly streaked everywhere, excepting 
upon the abdomen, with dull black. From a specimen in my collection 
obtained at Columbus, Ohio, by Dr. J. M. Wheaton.
