Nettium formosum. Drake. Obtained January 1, 1912. C.A.S. No. 18729. January 14, 1912. Coming into high. Long tricolored scapulars seem full grown. White shoulder bars still a little clouded, although white side rump bar is O.K. Colors of head and neck do not seem quite as clear as they should be, nor does the spotted breast. The finely-vermiculated gray feathers of the sides still have a number of eclipse feathers mixed with them along the upper margin of the flank feathers. These eclipse feathers appear to be like the ordinary flank feathers of the female. A few pale brown feathers of the eclipse are still to be seen in about the middle of the black under tail-coverts. February 11, 1912. About the same as a month ago, but is evidently moulting some small feathers, as he is constantly picking at himself. Under tail-coverts are now entirely black. The old flank feathers of eclipse plumage hang on remarkably. Buff and white feathers of head still have same blackish wash which gives them a dull appearance as a month ago. The round black spots of breast seem to be becoming more distinct and losing their veiled appearance, possibly through wear of overlapping feather tips and possibly through moult. Heard him call for first time to-day. February 28, 1912. Has lost several eclipse-plumage flank feathers. Calls occasionally.
