Obs. This is a very imperfectly known form and may perhaps turn out to be a geographic race of 
P. vufonuchalis or even an immature stage of P. ry. beavant. It differs from the latter in having the 
breast and abdomen ferruginous, sometimes mixed with greyish, especially on the flanks. Besides, 
the head and throat are duller, more of a brownish black. 
1) Hybrids between P. bicoloy and P. a. atricristatus have been described under the names : Parus atricristatus castanet- 
frons Sennett (Auk, Vol. 4, 1887, p. 28 : Bee Co., Texas) and Parus bicolor texensis Sennett (loc. cit. p. 29: Bee Co., Texas). 
The former agrees with P. a. atricristatus in having the crown and crest black, but the frontal band is chestnut instead of 
whitish, while the other form has the crown and crest grey like P. bicolor, from which it differs by the forehead being rusty or 
chestnut instead of black. See Ridgway, Birds North- an Middle America, Vol. 3, 1904, p. 386; Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. 
New York, Vol. 23, 1907, pp. 467-481.
