from a specimen from " Bogota " is a Bicknell's thrush. From this 

 Bicknell's thrush, formerly called Hylocichla aliciae bicknelli Ridg- 

 way (named in 1882), becomes Hylocichla minima minima (Lafres- 

 naye), while Alice's thrush, formerly Hylocichla aliciae aliciae 

 (Baird), will be known as Hylocichla minima aliciae (Baird). 



Bicknell's thrush differs from Alice's thrush {Hylocichla minima 

 aliciae) in being slightly smaller and browner above. The wing in 

 aliciae ranges from 99 to 109 mm. in males and 97 to 107.5 mm. in 

 females, in minima from 88.5 to 98.0 mm. in males and 85 to 93 mm. 

 in females. 



Bicknell's thrush is olive with a slight tinge of brown above. It 

 has a whitish eye-ring and grayish lores. Below it is white, tinged 

 with cream-buff on the sides of throat and breast, spotted with black. 

 The sides are brownish gray.
