This bird is said to announce a call, when whistling 
before a dwelling (Jacobson). 
In the males the lores are greyish brown; in n°. 131 
there is a faint indication of a narrow white line running 
from the base of the bill to the eye. In the female there 
is a well-defined white line above the dark lores.
