Ogilvielgrant. Briefly he recognises in the male three types a red, a black, and a white-spotted. (1) The red type. General coloration of a rufous chestnut, wherein white marks on the breast are conspicuous by their absence. Birds so coloured are obtained from the western counties of Scotland, England, and Wales, the Hebrides, and the low grounds of Ireland.
