Dendroica tigrina.
Descriptions of First Plumage of Certain North Am. Bbs. Wm.Brewster.
34. Perissoglossa tigrina.
First plumage: female. Remiges, rectrices, and primary coverts as in adult. Pileum, nape, rump, and upper tail-coverts dark slaty-brown, the back with an indistinct patch of olive-green. Eyelids, throat, jugulum, and sides of breast dark slate; abdomen, anal region, and crissum solid white, tinged with dull yellow. From a specimen in my collection shot at Upton, Me., August 21, 1874. This bird exhibits a few irregular patches and isolated feathers of dull yellow on the breast and throat, forerunners of the fall plumage.
Bull. N.O.C, 3, April, 1878. p. 60 .
