Cinereous Manakin, Gen. Syn. iv. 533. Shaiv's Zool. x. p. 35. 



LENGTH three inches and a half. Plumage in general cine- 

 reous, paler beneath ; belly very pale, inclining to white. 



Native place uncertain ; if it be Azara's bird, it is said to be lead- 

 colour, tinged with rufous ; wings and tail feathers dusky, bordered 

 with rufous, four inches in length, and the irides brown. It appears 

 not to be a common species ; as two only were met with.

 white; legs lead-colour.
