Not observed on the Orinoco, but recorded from La Pricion on the 

 Caura River by Berlepsch and Hartert. 



Miller and Iglseder collected a pair of birds at the foot of Mount 

 Duida, Upper Orinoco (American Museum collection) that probably 

 belongs to this race. I have however only a single example (from 

 "Napo") that may be referred to naevia naevia for comparison. The 

 differences are not marked, but perhaps sufficient to constitute a good 

 race. The abdomen, flanks and under tail-coverts are pale buffy instead 

 of dark ochraceous buff. The buffy spots on the mantle are also larger.
