145.— ROUND-CRESTED FLYCATCHER. 



Muscicapa coronata, Ind. Orn. ii. 487. Gm. Lin. i. 932. 



Le Churrinaha, Voy. d 'Azara, iii. No. 177. 



Gobe-mouche rouge huppe, Rubin, Buf.'w. 547. PI. enl.675. 2. 



Round-crested Flycatcher, Gen. Syn.'m. 362. Nat. Misc. pi. 569. Shaw's Zool. x. 412. 



LENGTH five inches and a half. Bill brown ; head furnished 

 with a singular tuft or crest, rounded at top, and somewhat flattened 

 on the sides, reaching as far as the nape; this crest, sides of the head, 

 and all the under parts fine crimson ; rest of the body, wings, and 

 tail brown ; quills edged with grey : legs reddish. 



The female has no crest, the colours much paler, and instead of 

 the full crimson, those parts are only tinged with it. 



Inhabits the borders of the Amazons River, in South America, 

 and known there by the name of Putillas; the natives call it Gui- 

 rapita or Red Bird ; said to be sedentary, and every where a rare 

 species. M. d'Azara says both sexes are alike when adult ; we may 

 therefore suppose, that the one thought to be the female, may only 

 be a young bird.
