- Eucometts spodocepiiala (Bonap.). 



Found from Bebedero up to the highest point at which

 lower down. Generally seen in bauds of four or five, also seen 

 frequently along with P/tcenicot/iraupis vinacea in those 

 constantly moving columns of birds composed of Tanagridae, 

 Formicariidse, Dendrocohiptidae, and others, that make the 

 woods seemingly all at once resound with their notes, and 

 then pass almost as suddenly away, leaving the spot silent 

 as before.
