This species was, I believe, first described by 

 myself in the Naturalist's Miscellany. It is re- 

 ceived into the work of Monsr. Viellot; but in 

 the description annexed to the engraving in that 

 elegant publication a mistake seems to have been 

 made in the colour of the belly, v/hich, instead of 

 pale yellow, is there stated to be rufous. The 

 length of the bird is about three inches and three 

 quarters, and its colours as stated in the specific 

 character: the bill and legs are black.
