Resident. Known in Panama only from Jaque, Darien. 



Two males, 1 juvenile, and the other nearly in adult dress, and 

 2 females, collected near Jaque from March 18 to April 11, 1946, 

 are the first records for this species from Panama. The birds were 

 found singly near the mouth of the Rio Jaque, either at the border 

 of the mangrove swamps or closely adjacent. One was feeding at 

 flowers of Tilia. The race has been reported in western Colombia 

 north only to the Serrania de Baudo in central Choco, but from 

 the records at Jaque it must range north to the border.
