Similar to D, occllata, but with the spots above converted into 

 more or less rounded ocellations, with terminal black margins, and 

 carried down to the rump ; bill always pale plumbeous white. 



Hab. Matto Grosso, Brazil.

 manner above mentioned, but several of the Amazonian specimens 

 referred to D. ocellata are clearly intermediate,
