 whitish ; throat black ; under wing-coverts white ; bill black ; feet 

 dark brown : whole length 5 inches, wing 2'8, tail 2-8. Young 

 like the adult, but throat white. 



Hah. Colombia and Ecuador. 



I am not quite sure whether the female resembles the male in 

 this species or has the throat white. There are several transitional 

 s]jecimens iu the series between the young white-throated bird 

 (C lichtemteini, mihi, olim) and the adult.
