Above dark ashy brown, with a slight olivaceous tinge on the 

 rump ; head slightly darker, with a more or less concealed white 

 vertical spot ; wings and tail blackish brown, tips of wing-coverta 

 (forming two transverse bands) and outer margins of exterior secon- 

 daries dirty white ; rest of wing-feathers and tail-feathers slightly 

 margined with lighter colour : below nearly uniform pale cinereous, 

 whiter on the throat and middle of the belly ; under wing-coverts 

 slightly tinged with yellowish ; bill brownish, paler at the base ; 

 feet blackish : whole length 6 inches, wing 3'2, tail 3. Female 

 similar. 



Hub. All South America, except Colombia. 



The characters of this variable species are taken from specimens 

 obtained in Southern Peru by Whitely, which agree nearly with 

 d'Orbigny's types in the Paris Museum. E. griseigularis of Western 

 Ecuador is smaller in size, but is easily matched by some Peruvian 

 specimens. So far as I can judge from single examples, E. cris- 

 tata and E. albivertex of Pelzeln are inseparable from the present 

 species.
