CHLORONERPES RUBIGINOSUS UROPYGIALIS (Cabanis). 



COSTA RICAN WOODPECKER. 



Similar to C. r. yucatanensis, but more richly colored; the foreneck 

 and chest washed with golden brown and with yellow bars averaging 

 narrower, color of upper parts averaging more golden bro-svTiish 

 (less greenish), and rump frequently less distinctly barred (often 

 uniform or nearly so) ; ^ wing, tail, and bill averaging shorter. 



o Occasional specimens, both from Panama and Costa Rica, have the rump quite 

 as plain colored as C. r. rubiginosus. One adult male from Sarchl, Costa Rica (no. 

 101920) has the crimson malar patches united posteriorly by a broad band across 

 the lower throat, the foreneck washed with crimson, and touches of the Bame color 

 over whole back, scapulars, rump, and upper tail-coverts.
