Obs. The disposition of the yellow markings of the ivings and tail of 

 this kind reminds us of the Go\^^nch (^Carditelis elegans, Steph.): the 

 lengthened wing, broad and short tail, the great breadth of the bill at 

 its base, and the short tarsi lead me to believe that this species feeds 

 principally upon insects which it pursues and captures on the vving.
