This exceedingly distinct species (so strangely synonymized with 

 T. subulatus by most authors) most nearly resembles T. multicolor in 

 the whiteness of the undsr parts, which, however, are never streaked 

 or suffused with pink as is often the case in the latter; but it differs 

 from T. multicolor in absence of the blue subauriculai area (which is 

 clear gray) and in the bright green lores and forehead, and from all 

 the other species in the very deep red color of the throat, ''solid" 

 pinkish red flank patch, and very narrow bill. It least resembles T. 

 subulatus, with which it seems to occur throughout its range, at least 

 in the Santo Domingo portion of the island. 



Island of Haiti (Sanchez, Aguacate, Catare, El Valle, La Vega, 

 Puerto Plata, Puerto Resoli, and Santo Domingo City, Santo 

 Domingo).
