Adult male. Similar to S. nnniata, but with much less white on 

 he outer tail-feathers. Total length 5-5 inches, culmeu 0-45, vdng 

 2-5, tail 2-5, tarsus 0"7. 



It would appear as if the orauge-breasted birds were the young 

 males, as the collection of Messrs. Salvin and Godmau contains one 

 young bird emerging from the dusky first plumage into an orange- 

 breasted plumage. 



In the Guatemalan series in the same collection every shade of 

 colour from orange to crimson is observable ; the difference of the 

 white on the tail holds good, but is not so marked as between 

 S. picfa and S. guatemala'.
