 Guatemala, and Costa Rica, bnt difi'ers at a glance by the mantle being olive-green 

 (instead of rufous-brown to olive-brown), by the underside being vivid greenish 

 yellow, with an olive tinge (instead of olive-grey with a yellow tinge, and a brown 

 wash across the breast), and much brighter pure yellow under wing-coverts. The 

 forehead is of the same ochraceous colour, only a little brighter than usual. The 

 tail is also of the same pale rufous brown, the shafts of the rectrices brown above 

 whitish below. The ear-coverts are brownish greenish (not cinereous with whitish 

 shaft-lines), the grey of the throat is a]iparently not extending so far down as in 

 H. ochraceiceps. " Iris light grey, feet grey, bill black, greyish below." Wing 

 59i, tail 30i (half shot off), tars, (both broken by shot) about 2:i, bill from end of
