Mexican specimens average decidedly deeper in color than others, especially the 

 buff of superciliary stripe, throat, etc., and brown of pileum, the latter almost sooty 

 in its darkness. Guatemalan examples have the back, etc., more rufescent or casta- 

 neous, those from Honduras, British Honduras, and Nicaragua more olivaceous 

 than Mexican specimens. The series examined is, however, inadequate.
