Distinguishable froni the var. occidentalis mainly by its less 

 pointed wings and the longer first primary. In color, the two 

 races agree very well, except that the bird from the Tres Marias 

 Islands shows a faint olive wash all over. Prom both the other 

 forms it may be easily distinguished by the light edgings on the 

 inner secondaries, and the very distinct white tip of the tail feathers, 

 which is to be found also on the three middle pairs.

 p. 372. 



The Chief differences between the typical obscurus and this race 

 consists in the rather duller shade of the gray , and the brighter 

 color of the rusty in the former, and in the absence of the rusty 

 or olive wash on the fore part of the back and the flanks in the 

 latter. In raany respects it comes very near to M. elisabeth, but 

 is easily distinguishable from this species by having the wings 

 more rusty , and the upper head and fore part of back pure gray.
