Note for Aliller. - Have you considered the 

 possibilities of some of the S. A. Poospiza being 

 in reality Junco? Particularly personata . Salvin 

 from the Peruvian Andes and laeta Salvin of the 

 same mounLain? They are much more "Junco" to 

 superficial appearances at least than is vulcani .
