Ueanthis linaria rostrata? Copey Ⓞ 1907 January 30' This bird was in an apple tree in Dr. Gehring's orchard in company with some Purple Finches with which I had an opportunity to compare it at a distance of only a few yards. It looked almost if not given as big as a Purple Finch and darker than even any of its companions. I heard it give both the flight chatter and the Canary-like call both of which were louder and stranger than the corresponding notes of G. linaria. Its coloring appeared to be that of the Eastern Redbird & I have little or no doubt that it was a hybridization of that from something or is just possible it may have been a Holbrook's Redbird.
