Mr. Swainson's St^iwpsii of the Birds of Mexico. 367 



Olive brown, beneath yellowish-white; wings with two pale 

 bands ; tail moderate, even ; bill small ; head crested. 



Maritime parts of Mexico. 



There are four or five small American Flycatchers, perlectly 

 resembling this in the colour of their plumage, but all dif- 

 ferin"- very materially in the size and form of their bills. 

 Thisf ill the present bird, is rather broad, flat, and not 

 abruptly hooked : when viewed in a vertical direction the 

 marcrins appear rather dilated, or curved outwards ; a cha- 

 racter so conspicuous in the typical Plahjrhijnchi, that we 

 may take it as a sufficient reason for bringing this bird withui 

 the confines of the same group. 

 The yellowish band at the base of the lesser quills is obsolete; 

 the margins of the greater are not pale, neither is the outer 

 feather of the tail margined with yellow.
