The PIED or SPOTTED FIELDFARE. It is variegated with white, black, and many other colours, lb dillributcd that except the head and the neck, which are white fpottcd with black, and the tail, which is entirely black, the dufky hues, interfperfed with white fpots, prevail on the upper-part of the body; and, on the con- trary, the light colours, efpecially the white, are fpread over the lower-part marked with black fpeckles, moil of which are fhaped like fmall crefcents. This Fieldfare is of the ordinary fize. We ought to refer to this the White-headed Fieldfare of Briflbn. It has no black fpeckles, and as its white is what alone diftinguifhes it from the common Fieldfare, we may confider it as intermediate between that and the Spotted Fieldfare. It is even natural to fuppofethat the change of plumage would begin at the head, fmce the colour of that part varies individuals. 1 ''I «':â 11. T .'-'YHJ â â ill ''-^^^^.
