244 FLYCATCHER. 



rump and tail ferruginous ; the middle of the feathers of the back 

 dusky; under parts from the breast pale yellow, with long, narrow, 

 black streaks on the sides ; middle of the belly and thighs plain ; 

 legs dusky blue. 



The female wants the yellow on the head, and in some of the 

 males the spot is orange-coloured. 



Inhabits the creeks at Cayenne, and perches on the low branches 

 of trees, especially the Mangroves, catching the insects which fre- 

 quent the water: is a bold and audacious bird. Met with also in 

 Paraguay, where it passes the summer, for the most part on the 

 borders of rivers. 



143— ORANGE-CROWNED FLYCATCHER. 



LENGTH four inches and three quarters. Bill somewhat broad 

 at the base, but stout; whole crown and nape fine high orange- 

 yellow ; body above, wings, and tail, olive-brown ; beneath to the 

 breast pale cinereous, from thence to the vent very pale, dull yellow ; 

 wings reach nearly to the end of the tail ; legs pale brown. 



This, we believe, inhabits Trinidad. — In the collection of Lord 

 Seaforlh. It is very like the Tyrant Flycatcher; but from being 

 scarcely half the size is probably a distinct species. 



In the collection of Lord Stanley is a similar one, and of the 

 same size. Bill the same, pale at the base; crown orange; back 

 brown ; wings dusky, with two buff bars across the coverts ; margins 

 of the quills very pale ; tail even, brown, two inches long, the outer 

 feather pale on the outer web ; under parts of the body dusky white, 

 much streaked, and blended with brown on the breast ; vent yellowish 

 white; legs longish, black; the wings reach one-fourth on the tail. 



Said to inhabit the Island of Trinidad, and probably differs from 

 the other in sex.
