Similar to G. bourcieri, but the vinous colour of the forehead and 

 cheeks changing not into pure grey, but into greyish vinous on the 

 crown and occiput, brighter along the middle part, paler and more 

 grey on the sides. Total length about 13 inches, wing 6-2, tail 4, 

 bill 0-65, tarsus 1-75. 



Young. Similar to that of G. bourcieri. 



Hah. Peru and Bolivia. 



A specimen from Tilotilo, in Bolivia, apparently fully adult, 

 has the vinous colour of the head of a much deeper hue, and the 

 hind part of the neck decidedly olive, a feature which, according to 

 Taczanowski, is distinctive of the female ; the underparts are of a 

 darker grey. The tarsus is even shorter (1*6 inch) than in two 

 adult specimens, one from Peru, the other from Simacu, Bolivia, and 

 even than in a young bird from Yuyo, Bolivia !
