Crown of the head, back of the neck, and shoulders, dark olive brown ; back 

 and upper tail coverts rufous brown ; wings brown ; the external edges of 

 the primaries and secondaries finely, and the greater and lesser wing coverts 

 broadly margined with ferruginous : tail uniform greyish brown ; throat 

 brownish grey ; chest and abdomen sandy brown ; upper mandible dark 

 brown ; under mandible yellowish brown ; feet blackish brown. 

 Habitat, Tierra del Fuego, Chile, and La Plata. 



This bird inhabits the forests of Tierra del Fuego, and as I procured 

 specimens of it in the beginning of winter (June), it probably remains throughout 

 the year in the extreme southern part of South America. Other specimens were 

 procured on the banks of the Plata, and near Valparaiso in Chile; it has there- 

 fore a wide range.
