THIS bird, which is an inhabitant of Cayenne, 

 is described in the Synopsis of Dr. Latham as a 

 variety of B. Cayenensis, but upon an accurate 

 examination of two specimens in Mr. Bullock's 

 Museum, it appears entirely distinct : it is about 

 seven inches in length ; with the forehead and 

 throat red: top of the head black, the edges of 

 the feathers grey gold ; sides of the head, and hind 

 part of the neck black; edges of the feathers 

 whitish : those of the rump also black with grey 

 edges : under parts of the body pale yellow : 

 breast and sides marked with large black spots : 

 thighs olive : wing-coverts and quills not spotted 

 with white as in the last, but similar in other 

 respects : tail, legs, and beak as in it.
