This bird agrees perfectly with our very large series. I have examined the 

 two specimens (one from Borba, the other from the Rio Curicuriari) mentioned by 

 Pelzeln s. n. A.'ruficollis, which differ by the under parts being much darker, 

 more chestnut. As, however, similar examples occur in Cayenne, Surinam, etc., 

 along with pale-bellied ones, this variation appears to be purely individual.
