This specimen, and one from Honduras (Segovia River), both males, 

 are appreciably darker than aji indivi<lual from Fanama, and another 

 from Costa Kica (Uarranca). In the two former the indistinct dark 

 e<ljiing of the feathei's of the under parts extends throughout, inclml- 

 iug the under tail coverts in the JMicaraguan s})eciinen, whiles in the 

 Panama and Costa Ivican examples this edging is obsolete on the abdo- 

 nuMi. The Honduras bird is recently adult, with signs of immaturity 

 still a]>i)arent. The teitials and rectrices are tipped with tawny-ochia- 

 ceous. The feathers of the great«'r and of some of the middle wing 

 coverts are conspicuously edged with black. There are also two or 

 three blackish feathers on the belly. The northein l)irds are some- 

 what larger, as the following table will show:
