Char, subsp. — Male most nearly resembling T. curucui curucui but exposed 

 upper portions of six inner tail-feathers rich copper-bronze (as in T. ambiguus), in 

 some specimens with, in others without, greenish reflections; bars of three outer 

 pairs of tail-feathers wider, as in T. c. tenellua; wing-coverts more broadly barred; 

 no white evident at the junction of green breast with orange abdomen; resembles 

 T. c. tenellus in the barring of the outer tail-feathers and wing-coverts, but differs in 

 its copper-bronze tail, absence of white pectoral band, and more deeply colored 

 abdominal region. 



Female most like T. c. curucui but wing-coverts apparently more widely barred; 

 the abdomen more deeply colored than in T. c. tenellus, the wing-coverts more broadly 

 barred, the breast, at junction of brown and orange, without, or with but a slight 

 indication of the conspicuous white or grayish pectoral band. 



A Tropical Zone species which extends from the Pacific Coast eastward 

 through the humid lower Cauca and* Magdalena Valleys. 



I am in doubt as to the identity of an adult male from La Morelia in the 

 Caquetd region. It has the tail more coppery than in the most extreme 

 specimen of cupreicauda, there is a more evident white pectoral band, and 

 the wing-coverts are less broadly barred, but in other respects it agrees with 

 the Pacific coast bird.
