(1850). 



Adult male. Easily distinguished from /s. cristattts bj- having the 

 superciliary stripe and the throat right up to the ear-coverts bright 

 orange-chestnut, so that the white car-patch is margined above and 

 below with chestnut instead of with black as in E. cristaiiii; but 

 otherwise the plumage of both species is very similar. Total length 

 8(3 inches, wing 4:"1, tail 2'7, tarsus 1*:^, middle toe and claw 1-li.

 superciliary stripe and throat buff, edged with black ; the ear-coverts 

 brown ; the crest dark brown instead of brownish white ; the 

 mantle blotched with black like the rest of the back, and the whole 

 of the upper parts more coarsely marked ; the underparts paler, and 

 the black middle and cross bars much coarser and more conspicuous. 

 Total length 7'7 inches, wing '3-'.), tail 2-5, tarsus 1*15, middle toe

* Birds from Verng;ua have rather more white on tlie chin and upper part 

 of the thriiat tlian is generally found iu speoiineus from Antioquia. I haTe 

 not the slightest doubt tlint the bird from " San Carlos in Central America" 

 which formed the type of Lesson's 0. feiirapo</on was merely a rather white- 

 throated example of this species. The striking dilferences shown in Gould's 

 plate are probably im))riiTemeut8 ou uature, and the chestnut band which com- 

 mences behind the eye and crosses the ear-coverts in his figure no doubt 

 really represents the superciliary stripe.
