adult males have the frontal tufts and the outer portions of 

 the secondaries narrowly edged with olive and the under 

 parts washed with the same colour. The females have no 

 frontal tufts, but carry a small tuft of bristles on the chin : 

 they are a little larger than the males, and have no olive edges 

 to the secondaries. The immature bird has no tufts, either 

 on the front or on the chin; the upper mandible is blackish. 

 This species is numerous in the forest. Whenever flying 

 ants begin to swarm, numbers of these birds appear on the 

 scene and catch them Avith avidity.
