Rare. Found in the thick woods. Specimens were collected at 

 Caicara and on the River San Feliz near its junction with the Cuchi- 

 vero River. Only two specimens were collected on my first expedi- 

 tion to the Orinoco in February, 1898; a, male and female collected at 

 almost the same spot as the Caicara specimens were taken in 1905. 



In actions this bird reminds one of our American Redstart.
