Vireo solitarius.
Descriptions of First Plumage of Certain North Am, Bbs. Wm. Brewster.
51. Vireo solitarius.
First plumage: female. Upper parts dark ashy, becoming lighter on the rump, and washed strongly with olive-green on the interscapular region. Abdominal region and throat soiled white, the latter with a faint ashy tinge. Sides and crissum pale greenish-yellow. A V-shaped patch of fawn-color on the lower pectoral region. From a specimen in my collection shot at Upton, Me., August 23, 1873.
This bird is in transitional dress, being slightly past the first plumage.
Bull. N.O.C. 3, July, 1878. p. 116.
