 Tuneful Manakin, Lath, Gen. Syn, 4. 534. 25. 



This active and agreeable bird is in length four 

 inches: beak dusky: forehead yellow : crown and 

 nape blue : upper part of the back, wings, and 

 tail, dusky black : lower part of the back and 

 rump orange : chin, cheeks, and throat black : 

 breast, belly, vent, and thighs orange : legs dusky. 



The song of this bird is said to be the complete 

 octave, which it repeats for a considerable length 

 of time together note after note successively. It 

 is common in St. Domingo, and like the Wood- 

 peckers and Creepers, it shifts itself round the 

 branches of the trees with such rapidity that it is 

 not easily shot.
