Sp. Cu.—Bill very large and short. Tail conspicuously forked. Wings long ; the first six quills attenuated abruptly, much 
longer than the seventh. Tertials much developed, nearly intermediate in length between the longest primaries and the shortest 
secondary. Above, and on the sides of the head and neck, ash gray, shaded in places with brown, which forms the middle 
portion of each feather. Downy portion at the base of each feather above light ash, then light brown, tipped and edged with 
darker ash grat . The mottled appearance is caused bv the brown showing from under the feathers ; the ear coverts darker. A 
concealed colored patch on the crown, formed by the base of the feathers, white before and behind, orange in the middle. 
Lower parts grayish white, tinged with ash across the breast, deepest anteriorly. Sides of the breast similar to, but lighter than, 
the back. Under wing coverts and axillars pale sulphur yellow. The wings brown, darker to the tips; the secondaries nar¬ 
rowly, the tertials more broadly edged with dull white. Edges of the coverts paler. Alula dark brown. Tail similar in color 
to the quills. Upper tail coverts brown. Bill and feet black. Length, eight inches ; wing, 4.65 ; tail, 4 ; tarsus .76. 
Hab. —South Carolina coast, accidental ; Florida Keys and West Indies. 
This species, though about the same size as the T. carolinensis, is much more powerfully built,
