BIRDS OF NORTH AND MIDDLE AMERICA. 



227 



Adult female.— Length (skins), 160-174 (169) ; wing, 98-105 (102.1) ; 

 tail, 49-64 (58.4); exposed culmen, 21-23.5 (21.9); tarsus, 18-19.5 

 (18.7); outer anterior toe, 12-14 (13.1).« 



Apart from the slightly shorter wing and tail there is very little by which to dis- 

 tinguish this form from D. v. sanctorum, unless it is the apparently broader red nuchal 

 band of the adult male. I am very doubtful whether the Nicaraguan bird is really 

 separable from the Costa Rican one. It is true that eleven of the twelve specimens 

 examined have the under parts conspicuously paler than in most Costa Rican exam- 

 ples; but five of the latter (out of a series of seventy-nine) are exactly like Nicaraguan 

 specimens in the color of the under parts, one of them (from Copey, Dota) being 

 even appreciably paler than the palest of the latter.
