 bill 1-2, tarsus 0-7. 



Young. No red wing-speculum. 



Hah. Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. 



Although I have considered the specimens without the red wing- 

 speculum to be the young, they do not show any other sign of youth. 



One specimen from Baisa, mentioned below, no doubt an indivi- 

 dual variety, has a yellow tinge on the forehead.
