 likely seen by him at San Carlos, where it was »mingling 

 with the above species (Dolichonyx oryzivorus L.) at the

 descriptions given by Salvin and Godman, and by Ridgway,

 the throat are dirty white; the rest of the under-parts of a 

 cinnamon-buff colour, clearest on the målar region, foreneck 

 and breast, gradually passing into the brown of the flanks 

 and under tailcoverts, the latter indistinctly tipped with 

 paler.
