Heluiinthophila peregrina. 
In tho middle of one of the extensive grassy commons 
on Nantucket, I started a small bird from the scanty 
grass and sweet fern bushes, it flevr oi ly a short distance 
and alighted; I started it again and shot itflying v;hen, 
greatly to my surprise, it proved to be a bird of this 
species in fall plumage.
