These specimens belong probably to true Ck. p. guttatus (Spix), but the 

 pattern of the throat is more like that of Cayenne examples, while Bogota 

 ones show a much greater amount of white there. The Orinoco birds agree 

 with those from Bogotii specimens in having the back rather more greenish, less 

 fulvescent than in Cayenne specimens. They difler from those from both these 

 localities in presenting no trace of the blood-red suffusion on the breast always 

 to be seen in adult birds from those places.
