The Green Indian Fly-Catcher. 
T his Figure reprefents the Bird of its natural Bignefs; it is a 
flender-biH’d Bird, and of that Tribe that generally feed oa^ 
Inleds. 
The Bill is black or dusky, a little inclining to Yellow near the Head,, 
and a very little bowed downwards; the Top of the Head, upper Side 
of the Neck and Back, are of a Green-colour, pretty dark ; the Rump' 
and upper Coverts of the Tail green, but fomething lighter; the Sides of 
the Head, Throat, Bread:, Belly, Thighs, and covert Feathers under the 
Tail, are Yellow, a little clouded with Green ; on the Head and Sides of 
the Neck, the dark Green of the upper Side, and the Yellow on the- 
lower, lofe themfelves in each other : The Wings are dark Brown or 
Black; fome of the Quills are yellow on the Edges of their Webs; the 
lird: and fecond Row of covert Feathers on the upper Side of the Wings 
have white Tips, which make two Bars of White a-crofs the upper Part 
of each Wing ; the Infide of the Wing Feathers is fomething fainter 
than the Outfide; the Tail is of the fame dark Green-colour with the 
Back ; the Legs,, Feet, and Claws, are of a dark Brown, or Black- 
colour. 
Mr. Dandridge obliged me with this Bird ; it was fent to him, with 
others, from Bengal. In my Searches I cannot difeover any Defeription 
agreeing with this, fo I conclude it will be accepted as a Bird hitherto, 
undeferibed. The Englijh Birds that come neared: it, are the Golden- 
crown d Wren.^ and a little yellow Bird, without Name, dcTcribed by 
Willoughby in his Ornithology, p. 227, 228. Mine agrees with the drdr 
of thefe in the Colour and Marks of the Wing, but wants the golden 
Crefb, is brighter colour’d in the Body, and hath a longer Tail. It agree# 
lefs with the fecond, that having no Marks in its Wings. Mine feemed 
to be almoft double the Bignefs of either of them. 1 believe it may be of 
that Willoughby calls Fig-eaterp. 216. of his Ornitiiology, they 
being Birds of this Size and Shape; but none of them are fo Green as my 
Bird.
