^ H ^ H I S is alfo a bird of paftage : but 
I we are not certain whether it quits this 
ifland, but are rather inclined to think 
it only fhifts its quarters. The head and back 
are of a pale reddilh brown, regularly fpotted with 
black : over each eye is a narrow white ftroke, 
beneath that is a broad bed of black, which ex¬ 
tend from the bill to the hind part of the head : 
the breaft is of a reddifh yellow : the belly paler: 
the quil feathers are brown, edged with a yellow- 
ilh brown : the upper part of the wing is marked 
with two white fpots : the lower part of the tail 
is white, the two middle feathers excepted, which 
are wolly black: the upper part of the others are 
of the fame color. The colors of the female are 
far lefs agreeable: in lieu of the white and black 
marks on the cheeks, is one broad pale brown one : 
and the white on the wings is in far lefs quantity 
than that of the male.

H E entire migration of this bird is 
alfo doubtful. With us it is common 
on gorfy grounds; it is a reftlefs and 
noify bird, and perches frequently on fome bulb, 
chattering inceffantly. The head, neck, and 
throat are black ; but on both (ides the latter is 
marked with a white bar, fo that it appears on 
firft fight to be encircled with white : the feathers 
on the back are black edged with tawny: the 
lower part of the back juft above the rump is 
white : the end and exterior fide of the two out-

moft feathers of the tail are of a pale ruft-color,

yellow; the belly of a lighter hue : the quil fea¬ 
thers are dufky edged with dull red ; thofe next 
the body are marked with a white fpot near their 
bottoms : the coverts of the wings are adorned 
with another. The head of the female is ferru¬ 
ginous fpotted with black 5 and the colors in ge¬ 
neral lefs vivid. In both fexes the legs are black $ 
which alfo is the character of the two preceding 
fpecies, as well as that next to be defcribed.

H E colors of the male are well ex- 
preffed in the plate ; but the out-line 
is faulty, being much too large. Mr. 
Edwards has very elegantly expreffed both fexes.

The female differs from the male in thefe particu¬ 
lars. The head, whole part of the body, and the 
coverts of the wings are of a dull brown color : 
it wants the white fpot in the forehead ; and
