 Falco Urubitinga. Lin. Syst. Nat. Gmel. 



The description of this species is copied by au- 

 thors from Marcgrave, who mentions it in his 

 History of Brasil. It is of the size of a half-grown 

 goose: the bill large and black, with a yellow cere : 

 the plumage brown with a blackish mixture ; the 

 wings varied with ash-colour, and the tail white, 

 with a black terminal band tipped with white: legs 

 bare and yellow. 



From the description of the tail, this bird has 

 been supposed the same with the preceding, but 

 both Monsieur Daudin and Sonnini consider it as 

 very distinct.
