O. guttatus belongs to the section of the genus in which the species have ocellated 
white spots below; it is nearly allied to O. veraguensis, and in Costa Rica, where 
their range overlaps, somewhat intermediate forms occur, these having the underparts 
more or less washed with rufous. We find nothing worth recording as to the habits 
of this bird.

This species is closely allied to O. guttatus, from which it is readily distinguished by 
having the top of the head ferruginous and the underparts washed with reddish- 
chestnut. No notes on its habits have been published, beyond the fact that at Boquete, 
on the slope of the Volcan de Chiriqui, Bridges? met with it running on the ground, 
in coveys, in the forests, and remarks that the male has a peculiar call-cry. The 
specific name is an unfortunate one, the bird not having been actually found as yet in 
Veragua, David being in Chiriqui and far from the department of Veragua.,
