(Yucatan).

 with brown, which is the colour of the front and sides of the head ; 

 wings ashy brown, with margins like the back; tail like the back 

 but rather duller : below rosy red, with a strong cinereous tinge on 

 the abdomen ; under surface of wings ashy, of tail reddish ashy ; 

 bill dark plumbeous ; feet pale brown : whole length 7*2 inches, 

 wing 3'9, tail 3-6. Female. Above brown, without signs of any 

 median crest ; below brighter brown, yellowish on the throat and 

 middle of the belly. 



Hah. S. Mexico, Yucatan, Honduras, and Guatemala. 



I follow Graf v. Berlepsch and Messrs. Salvin and Godman in 

 placing this species as distinct and as the northern form of F. fusci- 

 cauda. But I must say I find some difficulty in distinguishing the 

 males of P. ruhicoiJes and P. i^alviui in some cases, although the 

 females (if correctly understood) are obviously different. The male 

 of P. salvini seems distinguishable from that sex of P. fuscicauda 

 by the reddish tinge of its tail below.
