Sp. Cn.—First quill longest. Legs black. Head all round black, this extending as a semicircular patch to the upper part of 
breast; sides of lower neck and Under parts white, with black streaks on the sides, and spots on the side of the breast. A short 
brownish white streak back of the eye. A broad chestnut collar on the back of the neck. Rest of upper parts brownish yellow 
streaked with dark brown. Outer tail feathers white, except on the basal portion of the inner web. Length, about 6.25 inches ; 
wing, 3.90 ; tail, 2.8 . 
Hub -—Eastern Northern America into the United States in winter. Not found much west of the Missouri. 
This species is very seldom seen in full spring plumage in the United States. In perfect 
dress, the black of the throat probably extends further down over the breast. In winter the 
black is more or less concealed by whitish tips to the feathers beneath, and by yellowish 
brown on the crown. Some fall specimens, apparently females, show no black whatever on the 
throat, which, with the under parts generally are dull white, with a short black streak on each 
side of the throat.
