Hah. Eastern Mexico. 



As already shown in Birds N. Am., this bird is very different 

 from the United States species in the absence of any lighter edgings 

 on the greater wing coverts (seen in all the others), in the almost 

 entire absence of whitish edging to the quills and tail, and in the 

 ashy, instead of the rusty, flanks and crissum. The size is about that 

 of the Pamis atricapillus.
