70. Zonotrichia albicollis.
First plumage: male. Above bright reddish-brown, darkest upon the crown, the feathers of the interscapular region with obscurely defined dark brown centres. Superciliary stripe, and a poorly defined median stripe upon the crown, brownish-white; no decided yellow anterior to the eye. Beneath brownish-white, with dusky streakings everywhere excepting upon the abdomen. From a specimen in my collection taken at Upton, Me., July 30, 1874. Bull. N.O.C. 3, July, 1878. p. 121.
