(No. 34,676, 90 Very similar to A. cyanoleuca, of Brazil, in color and size, 



although rather smaller, except that the tail is more deeply forked (.60 deep, 



instead of .45) ; the bill larger, broader, and more depressed (from nostril 



.18, instead of .16) ; the sides of the body under the wings blackish, with 



Blight steel blue gloss (in true cyanoleuca merely brownish dusky, without 



gloss). Upper parts glossed with violet, instead of nniform steel blue, having 



a tinge of greenish. A slight, almost inappreciable wash of rusty yellowish 



beneath.
