When a large series of this bird is examined, so much variation 

 is evident that it is no longer possible to maintain E. sub- 

 pagana of Central America and E. semipagana of Western Ecuador 

 as distinct species. As a rule, however, the northern birds are 

 darker in colour above, and more strongly coloured with yellow 

 below. The throat also is usually of a lighter grey.
