Hab. Eastern Mexico. 
As already shown in Bifds N. Am., this bird is very different 
from the United States species in the absence of any lighter edgings 
on the greater wing coverts (seen in all the others), in the almost 
entire absence of whitish edging to the quills and tail,-and in the 
ashy, instead of the rusty, flanks and crissum. The size is about that 
of the Parus atricapillus.
