TAWNY PIPIT. 243 on the upper tail-coverts ; the underparts are iiniform buffiih white, darkest on the breast; the lores are very dark brown ; the white on the two outside tail-feathers is suffused with sandy brown ; bill with the upper mandible dark brown, paler at the tip, and the lower mandible pale brown; legs, feet, and claws light brown; irides dark brown. The female very closely resembles the male in colour. After the autumn moult both the upper and under parts are somewhat more rufous. Birds of the year are more or less streaked on the breast and the sides of the throat, a character which is still more pronounced in young in first plumage. The hind claw is somewhat more developed than that of the Meadow-Pipit, but not so much so as that of Richard's a3.
