EHYNCHORTYX CINCTUS CINCTUS (Salvin) 



Long-legged Colin 



Adult male. — Similar to that of Rhynchortyx cinctus pudibundus, but 

 with less white on the lower abdomen, the tawny tones below averaging 

 darker — clay color to pale tawny-olive ; and the gray of the breast darker 

 on the average — deep neutral gray. 



There seem to be three, instead of only two, color phases in the males 

 of this race, the color affecting the back, rump, and upper tail coverts. 

 One specimen from Tacarcuna has this area dark mouse gray finely pep- 

 pered with blackish and white, no rufescent being present except on the 

 tips of the upper tail coverts ; another from the same place is of the vina- 

 ceous fawn phase; while still another, from Mount Sapo, in the Pacific 

 slope of Darien, is of the buffy-brown phase. 



Adult female. — Similar to that of Rhynchortyx cinctus pudibundus but 

 with less white on the lower abdomen and averaging slightly darker and 

 more rufescent above (in the vinaceous-fawn-backed phase, the back is 

 darker and deeper pinkish in color) ; the cheeks slightly more rufescent. 



Juvenal. — None seen.
