This Saltator, one of the largest birds of the Tanagrine family, is 

 very variable in parts of its plumage. The throat-spot, clear white 

 in most specimens, is dark chestnut in some ^Fexican examples, and 

 in others tinged with rufons. The sides of the head vary from 

 cinereons to nearly pure black. The guttural collar is sometimes 

 broad and distinct, sometimes almost obsolete. The under mandible 

 is sometimes yellowish instead of black, as is also occasionally the 

 tip of the upper mandible.
