A male from Concon, Chile, taken April 26, 1921, is supposedly 

 typical of this species. Another shot at General E,oca, E.io Negro, 

 November 24, 1920, is in a peculiar immature stage of plumage, 

 though in breeding condition. 



Near General Roca, Rio Negro, these birds were seen in small 

 numbers along irrigation ditches, where they were breeding. At 

 Concon, Chile, small flocks of 25 or 30 were found singing sweet 

 medleys from the tops of trees standing in the open, or passing with 

 undulatinof flight to feed among bushes and weeds.
