Le Milornis de Chapada. 



Similar to P. longuemareus, but much paler in all parts. 

 The bronzy-green of the back is much paler ; the rump and 

 uppertail-coverts are rusty-buff instead of rufous ; the middle 

 tail feathers are more attenuated, their basal portion lighter 

 bronze-green and less dusky and the light apical portion 

 longer and whiter ; the lower parts are strong buff rather than 

 rufous ; the chin is only slightly dusky instead of blackish ; 

 the lowertail -coverts are buff instead of white, and the outer 

 vanes of the outer tail feathers are strong rusty-buff, which 

 colour also occupies the apical portions of the inner vanes.
