This bird is said to inhabit the warmer parts of 
America and Saint Domingo, and is described by 
Latham as a variety of the Louisiane Lapwing; 
but it appears to be a distinct species. It is thus 
described by that ornithologist : “ Size of the 
Louisiane species : beak yellow ; the base of it sur- 
rounded with a yellow skin, as in that bird : the 
head and upper parts pale yellow : the under yel- 
lowish white, inclining to rose-colour : tail as the 
back, but the side-feathers incline to rose-colour on 
the inner webs : legs yellow.”
