This is by far the best-known member of the genus Buarremon, having a wide 

 range extending from Southern Mexico to Peru, and spreading eastwards to Venezuela. 

 It is, however, a denizen of the higher country, and is never found in the forests of the 

 lowlands. In the woods of the Volcan de Fuego in Guatemala, lying between 6000 

 and 8000 feet, it is a common bird, and was usually observed in pairs scratching on 

 the ground amongst dead leaves. 



Salmon, who obtained its eggs in the State of Antioquia, describes them as nearly 

 white, faintly tinged with very pale greenish blue ^^. 



B. brunneinucha has no near ally in our country, being distinguished by its chestnut 

 head, the forehead being black, with a central and two lateral small white spots. In 

 South America B. inornatus, from Western Ecuador, is an allied species, differing in 

 the absence of the black pectoral band.
