This bird is clearly distinct from the North American P. cestiva 

 upon an accurate comparison. It is of quite a different red, being 

 much brigbter ; the bill is larger and of a dark plumbeous, not horn 

 colour, and the feet are nearly black. 



As I find that Spix's T. saira, of which I have seen the type at 

 Munich, is the female of this bird, I have thought it right to use that 

 name for it, as first given, instead of the usually adopted azarte.
