Setophaga castaneo-capilla. 



Setophaija castaneo-capilla, Cab. Schomburgk's Guiana, III, 1848, 667 

 (Roraima, Guiana). 

 This species has usually been assumed as identical with the preceding, 

 although judging from the description alone, it appears quite distinct. The 

 essential features consist in having the crest chestnut brown, the forehead, 

 sides of neck and back with faint wash of olivaceous. The outer tail feather 

 has the outer web and the tip of the inner white ; the second with a large 

 white spot inclosed by black ; the third white only at tip. Nothing is said 

 of the black forehead, nor of the white lines of the face and front. There is 

 much less white also on the lateral tail feathers.
