32. Dendrceca maculosa. 
First plumage: female. Remiges and rectrices slightly paler than in 
adult; greater and middle wing-coverts just tipped with fulvous, forming 
two narrow wing-hands; rest of upper parts, sides of head, including 
orbital region and eyelids, and breast, dark ashy, somewhat lighter on rump. 
Abdomen, anal region, and crissum pale sulphur-yellow, blotched somewhat 
indistinctly anteriorly with ashy. Throat pale ashy, with a few yellow 
feathers intermixed. From a specimen in my collection shot at Upton 
Me., August 10, 1874. This bird was very young, indeed barely able to 
fly. Several specimens a little further advanced show an increased 
amount of yellow on the throat and abdomen, but are otherwise similar.
