MIMUS GILVUS GRACILIS (Cabanis). 

 YUCATAN MOCKINGBIRD. 



Similar to M. g. guatemalensis, but gray of upper parts clearer (more 

 nearly mouse gray or between mouse gray and slate-gray), wmgs and 

 tail deep black, the greater wing-coverts with very narrow (if any) 

 gray edgings, white of lateral rectrices more extended (the black basal 

 portion of outer pair usually concealed, or mostly so, by under tail- 

 coverts), and tail relatively longer. 



" I have not been able to examine a satisfactory series of Venezuelan specimens, and 

 therefore am not sure as to whether the birds of this species from that country should 

 be referred to the present form. 



b No Costa Rican specimen seen by me.
