This is perhaps the commonest of the cotingas in Costa Rica, rang- 

 ing over the whole of the lowlands of both coasts and up over the 

 central plateau region to about 6,000 feet. It seems to be most 

 abundant at about 1,000 feet on either slope. The birds were feeding 

 in great abundance on the tree mentioned under Carpodectes nitidus. 

 The nest is made in an abandoned woodpecker's hole. I have often 

 seen the birds entering such holes, but have never secured the eggs. 

 Its native name of " Pajaro Chancho " is given on account of the 

 resemblance of the note of the birds to the grunting of a pig.
