Description.—Adult male: More or less like H. pinus (i. e. forehead and forecrown pure yellow, a black line through eye, etc.), but upper parts bluish gray (instead of olive-green); the wing-bars yellow; under parts pure white, tinged on breast only with yellow and on sides with ashy gray. In the fall more heavily washed with yellow below, and margined with olive-green above. Adult female: Like the male, but yellow of crown not so bright; wing-bars usually The status of this bird is not yet fully determined. It may be a color phase of H. pinus or a hybrid between H. pinus and //. chrysoptera or possibly a nascent species. Certain it is that its affinities are strongly with H. pinus. Upon this point Ridgway's note is at least suggestive and perhaps solvent, "This puzzling bird apparently bears the same relation to H. pinus that //. lawrencei does to H. chrysoptera. In a large series of specimens every possible intermediate con- dition of plumage between typical H. pinus and //. leucobronchialis is seen, just as is the case with H. chrysoptera and //. lawrencei. If we assume therefore that these four forms represent merely two dichroic species, in one of which (H. pinus).
