^ the whole of the plumage of fine blue,- the top of the head
deepeft : greater quills brown, edged with blue : tail brown,

The jW r differs from the male, as it is much like the Linnet
in colour. The male is like the female in moulting-time, and is
only blue when in full plumage. It may alfo at that time be
known from the female, as the edge of the wing is of a deep
btownilh blue, whereas, in th e female it is greemlh brown.
