Supra fuscus, fronte cinerascente : remigibus intus rufis: subtus 
albus: rectricibus lateralibus nigris albo late terminatis, duabus 
mediis dorso concoloribus : rostro superiore nigro, inferiore ad 
basin aurantiaco: long, tota 11, ale 5°5, caude rectr. med. 
5°8, ext. 3°5 poll. Angl. 
Hab. North America, Eastern States to Missouri plains (Baird) ; 
Mexico, Orizaba (Sallé); Cuba (Gundlach) ; Jamaica (Gosse § 
March) ; Ste. Croix (Newton); Trinidad (Léotaud); Guatemala 
(Salvin) ; Costa Rica (v. Frantzius); Panama (M‘Cleannan) ; 
Bogota (Mus. P. L. 8.) ; S. Paulo, Brazil (Natt.). 
I have examples of this species in my collection from the United 
States, Mexico, Jamaica, and Bogota. In Salvin and Godman’s col- 
lection are others, from the United States, Guatemala, and Panama. 
I have also compared those in the British Museum from various 
localites. 
The rufous colour of the primaries does not always extend through 
to the outer webs, but varies in amount. In the skin which I called 
bairdi (supposing it to be the dominicus, Baird nec auct.) it does not 
show on the outer web at all. 
I have a “ Bogota’’ skin certainly referable to this species, so that 
it may probably straggle further south occasionally, aud may be the 
species called by Pelzeln’C. bairdi (Orn. Bras. p. 273), which was 
obtained by Natterer in the province of S. Paul, S.E. Brazil.
