A specimen in the Philadelphia Academy, although marked female, 

 is considerably larger, though apparently not otherwise different.

According to Strickland (Cont. Orn. 1851, 104), Dulus nuchalis, 

 of Swainson (2^ Centen. 1838, 345), forms a second species, closely 

 allied, but with a transverse bar of white on nape. The type (from 

 Brazil) is said by hirp to be in the Cambridge Museum.
