Fam. PIPRIDA. 
34. Chiroxiphia linearis Bp. 
Abundant. Spanish name “Tolédo” (pronounced ‘ Tolay’do”) on 
account of a fancied likeness to their whistling note. The natives also 
call this bird “ Bailador” or ‘‘Dancer.” It was not until I had been 
in the region for some time that I understood why it was given this 
name. One day, while hunting through the dense forest, the profound 
silence was suddenly broken by the regularly repeated note of “EI 
Bailador,” and softly making my way toward the spot whence the 
sound proceeded, I witnessed one of the most remarkable performances 
it has ever been my lot to see.
