Adult male. Similar to C. mexicana, but distinguished by its 

 entirely black tail : il bill blackish horn-colour, the lower mandible 

 pale yellowish ; feet horn-colour ; iris dark brown " (Stohmann). 

 Total length 4 inches, culmen 0*35, wing 2-5, tail 1-5, tarsus 0-45. 



Adult female. Similar to the female of C. mexicana. Total length 

 4 inches, culmen 0-4, wing 2-45, tail l - 45, tarsus - 5. 



Specimens from Peru and Venezuela have absolutely black tails, 

 as have also most of the Colombian specimens. Among the latter, 

 however, are some which show an irregular white mark on the 

 outer tail-feathers. This mark is probably due to the interbreeding 

 of C. colombiana and 0. mexicana on the confines of their respective 

 habitats. 



Hah. Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
