The males seem to be larger and have longer bills than 

 the females. 



Although Mr. Oberholser is doubtless right in stating 

 that the oldest name of this species is B. icterina Bp., it is

 ict erica in the same genus that I think it will be better to 

 adhere to Cassin's name of B. tricolor.
