Upper Orinoco, March 29—April 29, 1931. 
One of the Cucuhy (February) birds is in molt. In the series from 
the Upper Orinoco, two of the immature males are in process of 
molting into the black adult plumage; the unsexed immature bird 
likewise shows a few blackish feathers on the throat and is therefore 
probably a male. These three birds are generally darker and more 
grayish than the adult females or the young female which they 
otherwise resemble. 
In identifying these birds occasion was taken to reidentify all the 
specimens of the species available and Zimmer’s account (Amer. 
Mus. Nov., No. 889, 1936, pp. 7-16) was found to hold for all the 
material (five races) seen. 
An additional specimen, preserved in alcohol, was taken on the 
Rio Negro, February 9, 1930.

Two of the San Antonio males are really subadult birds just starting 
to molt into adult plumage. 
No material from the Venezuelan coastal districts has been available 
for study; Hellmayr’s decision (Catalogue of the birds of the Americas, 
pt. 6, 1929, p. 39, footnote) that 7. f. subpallida Todd is not separable 
from typical filicauda has been followed in using a binomial in this 
report.
