THE TURDIDAE OR THRUSH FAMILY 55. _Oreicola ferrea_. The dark-grey bush-chat. Not so abundant in the Eastern as in the Western Himalayas. 56. _Henicurus maculatus_. The Western spotted forktail. 57. _Microcichla scouleri_. The little forktail. This is distinguishable from the foregoing by its very short tail. It does not occur commonly at elevations over 5000 feet. 58. _Rhyacornis fuliginosus_. The plumbeous redstart or water-robin. Not common above 5000 feet in the Eastern Himalayas. 59. _Merula boulboul_. The grey-winged ouzel. 60. _Petrophila cinclorhyncha_. The blue-headed rock-thrush. 61. _Oreocincla molissima_. The plain-backed mountain-thrush. This is the thrush most likely to be seen in the Eastern Himalayas. It is like the European thrush, except that the back is olive brown without any dark markings. THE FRINGILLIDAE OR FINCH FAMILY 62. _Haematospiza sipahi_. The scarlet finch. The cock is a scarlet bird, nearly as large as a bulbul, with black on the thighs and in the wings and tail. The hen is dusky brown with a bright yellow rump. This species has a massive beak. 63. _Passer montanus_. The tree-sparrow. This is the only sparrow found at Darjeeling. It has the habits of the house-sparrow. The sexes are alike in appearance. The head is chestnut and the cheeks are white. There is a black patch under the eye, and the chin and throat are black. The remainder of the plumage is very like that of the house-sparrow. THE HIRUNDINIDAE OR SWALLOW FAMILY 64. _Hirundo rustica_. The common swallow. 65. _Hirundo nepalensis_. Hodgson's striated swallow. THE MOTACILLIDAE OR WAGTAIL FAMILY 66. _Oreocorys sylvanus_. The upland pipit. This is not very common east of Nepal. THE NECTARINIDAE OR SUNBIRD FAMILY 67. _AEthopyga nepalensis_. The Nepal yellow-backed sunbird. This replaces _AEthopyga scheriae_ in the Eastern Himalayas, and is distinguished by having the chin and upper throat metallic green instead of crimson. It is the common sunbird about Darjeeling. THE DICAEIDAE OR FLOWER-PECKER FAMILY 68. _Dicaeum ignipectus_. The fire-breasted flower-pecker. THE PICIDAE OR WOODPECKER FAMILY 69. Of the woodpeckers mentioned as common in the Western Himalayas, the only one likely to be seen at Darjeeling is _Hypopicus hypererythrus_--the rufous-bellied pied woodpecker, and this is by no means common. The woodpeckers most often seen in the Eastern Himalayas are: 70. _Dendrocopus cathpharius_. The lesser pied woodpecker. A speckled black-and-white woodpecker about the size of a bulbul. The top of the head and the sides of the neck are red in both sexes; the nape also is red in the cock. 71. _Gecinus occipitalis_. The black-naped green woodpecker. This bird, as its name implies, is green with a black nape. The head is red in the cock and black in the hen. This species is about the size of a crow.
