Pinieola enucleate?* leucura 
Descriptions of First Plumage of Cer¬ 
tain North Am, Bbs. Win. Brewster. 
53. Pinieola enucleator. 
First plumage : male. Forehead, crown, cheeks, and throat dull yel¬ 
lowish-brown, lightest on the throat, with a few blood-red feathers inter¬ 
mixed on the forehead and cheeks. A dusky line through the lores. 
Occiput and interscapular region purplish olive-brown ; nape a lighter 
shade of the same color ; tail-coverts and rump dull yellowish-red ; wing- 
bands and edging of secondaries light wood-brown ; entire under parts 
reddish-brown, lightest on abdomen, most pronounced on breast and sides. 
From a specimen in my collection shot at Upton, Me., August 27, 1874. 
Young birds in the second or autumnal plumage exhibit almost endless 
variations of coloring. The males may be distinguished in most cases by 
the coppery-red on the crown and rump ; but some females have the 
ordinary brownish-yellow on those parts, strongly tinged with red. One 
young male in my collection exhibits a broad pectoral band of light rose- 
color mixed with reddish-yellow.
