The adult bird is practically identical with others from Mattogrosso (P. Feia, 

 Chapada, Guyaba) and S. Paulo, the throat being deep cinnamon-rufous. Two 

 examples from Chiiiuitos, Eastern Bolivia, obtained by D"Orbigny, in the Paris 

 Museum, do not differ either. 



The young bird (No. 1700) has the breast and abdomen much more tinged with 

 buff than the adult, the throat is considerably ligliter, about " ochraceous-buff " 

 (Ridgw. V. 10), and there is a distinct, though narrow, ochraceous line above the 

 lores and eye.
