The female differs from the male chiefly in its slightly 

 smaller size and in the absence of the black on the lores and 

 the ring round the eye. 



[This species is resident and can be found in all the 

 forests, even close to Asuncion. It is a pretty little bird, 

 quick and lively in its movements, and by no means shy. I 

 have met with it during most months of the year, but I have 

 never been able to discover its nest. This is not to be 

 wondered at when one looks over the hundreds of square 

 miles of forest ; it seems well-nigh impossible to find any 

 nest at all., particularly one belonging to a not very 

 abundant species. — W. F.~\
