My apologies. In describing the breeding plumage of the bunting male I meant to write " white head and belly and jet-black BACK". SAR -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES

[cayugabirds-l] Color change without molt
