D. macruro similis, sed pileo cinerascenti-brunneo, capitis lateribus et gutture plumbescenti-cinereis, et pre- 
cipue prepectore et pectore saturate cinnamomeis facile distinguendus. Long. tota circa 12°5, ale 6-4,

Juv. adultis similis, sed subtus pallidior, et plaga pectorali cinnamomea nigro obscure fasciata, plumis

The range of the Bearded Long-tailed Partridge appears to be limited to the 
highland forests of Vera Cruz. It isa rarer bird than D. macrurus, and nothing has 
been recorded respecting its habits.

This Partridge is easily recognized from all the other members of the genus by its 
white forehead and throat. It inhabits the thick forests of the highlands of Guatemala 
and Costa Rica. According to von Frantzius, D. lewcophrys is known in the latter 
country as the “ Chirascua ” 5, on account of its peculiar cry, which is heard before 
sunset. The bird is much sought after on account of the excellence of its flesh, but is 
difficult to shoot, being extremely wild.
