I have had a specimen of this bird in my collection for some time, 

 purchased along with other birds from Honduras, but I never felt 

 certain about the locality. Two examples were obtained by M. 

 Boucard at Playa Vicente in April 1859. The beak is much smaller 

 than in the previous species, and has the culmen incurved as in 

 Spermophila.

Four examples : Oaxaca (March). 



I cannot distinguish between these and specimens from the U. S., 

 except that the present are rather purer in colouring, and in parti- 

 cular more white below.
