The pale colour of the bill accompanies, as might be expected, 

 the pale coloration of the plumage. The male described is either 

 not an adult bird or it is in seasonal plumage ; and I confidently 

 expect that the adult males of C. pallida will turn out to be black. 

 The smaller size and stouter and more arched bill will serve to dis- 

 tinguish the species.
