I have compared these five specimens with a series of 

 eighteen other individuals, including the ty[)e, in the British 

 Museum from British Guiana, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, 

 Peru, and Bolivia, and find the colour and the wing-measure- 

 ments very similar throughout.

According to Hellmayr this form is allied to C. plumbea, 

 but differs in being smaller in size, paler brown on the 

 upper parts, and pale grey on the underparts, with scarcely 

 any perceptible rosy tinge.
