It is the Emberiza ciris of See also:Linnaeus, and the Cyanospiza ciris of most See also:recent ornithologists, belonging to a small See also:group, now included with the buntings and finches, although some authors have regarded it as a See also:tanager (q.v.). The See also:cock has the See also:head, See also:neck and lesser wing-coverts See also:bright See also:blue, the upper See also:part of the back yellow, deepening into See also:green, and the See also:lower parts generally, together with the rump, bright See also:scarlet, tinged on the latter with See also:purple. This gorgeous colouring is not assumed until the bird is at least two years old. The See also:hen is green above and yellow beneath; and the younger cocks See also:present an See also:appearance intermediate between the adults of both sexes. The See also:species, which is often also called the painted See also:bunting, after wintering in Central See also:America or See also:Mexico, arrives in the See also:Southern states of the See also:American See also:Union in See also:April, but does not ordinarily proceed to the northward of See also:South Carolina. In See also:Louisiana, where it is generally known to the See also:French-speaking inhabitants as the Pape—as it was to the Spaniards of See also:Florida as the Mariposa pintada (painted butterfly)—it is said to be very abundant; and on its appearance in See also:spring See also:advantage is, or was, taken of the pugnacious disposition of the See also:males to See also:capture them alive in See also:great See also:numbers by means of the stuffed skin of one so placed in connexion with a cage-See also:trap that they instantly fall into the latter on attacking what they conceive to be a See also:rival. Belonging to the same genus as the nonpareil is the See also:indigo-bird, Cyanospiza cyanea, which, as a summer visitant, is widely diffused from the See also:Missouri to the See also:Atlantic, and extends into the provinces of
See also:Ontario and New See also:Brunswick, being everywhere regarded with favour. Though wanting most of the bright hues of its Congener, the indigo-bird has yet much beauty, the adult cock being nearly all over of a deep blue, changing, according to the See also:light, to green.
