BRITISH BIRDS, 
two middle feathers of the tail are greenifli brown ; 
the fide ones white, crolfed with dulky lines : the 
breafl, belly, and vent are white, but in the female, 
fpotted with brown : legs of a dirty flelh-colour. 
This fpecies is not common in England. The 
fpecimen from which the foregoing figure was 
drawn, was fliot in the month of Auguft, on the 
bleak moors above Bellingham, in Northumber- 
land; and the author is indebted for it, and many 
other favours of the fame kind, at different times, 
to Mr John Wingate, of the Weftgate, Newcaftle®
