As shown by the second locality this species occurs not only on Ron, but also on the 

 mainland in the neighbourhood. The 4 skins are perfectly similar in colour. 



I found thèse birds in small flocks hopping from one branch to the other. Their 

 stomach contained fruitpips and remains of a catterpillar.
