Now shut your eyes and think.
"What has the Bluebird ?" "A blue back and a red and white breast; it is the flag bird." "The Robin ?" "A brick-red breast and dark back." "The Wood Thrush ?" "A rusty-brown back, the brightest on the head, and a little greenish on the tail." "The Veery ?" "An even light-brown back, the same from head to tail." "The Hermit ?" "A greenish-brown back, much redder on the rump and tail, like a chestnut." "The Olive-back ?" "An even greenish-brown back, the color of olives all over." "And the under parts of the last four--what general color are they ?" "From white to buff, with different sized and shaped dark markings.

The spots on the Wood Thrush are the roundest and blackest; those on the Veery are the smallest, lightest, and most on the throat; on the Hermit they are longer and run together more like stripes; and those on the Olive-back are most like the Hermit's." The Olive-backed Thrush Length about seven inches--the same as the Hermit.
Upper parts an even olive color all over.
Under parts cream-yellowish, whiter on the belly, the throat and breast spotted with black.
A yellowish eye-ring, like the creamy color of the breast.
