This Mexican species is quite different from the saira and cestiva, 

 being larger in size and greyish-red above. I have never observed it 

 except in collections from Mexico. I tbink the P. azarte, noticed in 

 Sitgreaves' ' Report of the Zuni and Colorado Rivers Expedition,' is 

 very hkely to be this bird, as the saira {azarce) does not range nearly 

 so far north.
