in colour to the upper parts of the body, and is 

 tipped with white : the abdomen and the under 

 tail-coverts are of a chesnut-red : the whole of the 

 beak is of a brilliant red : the irides are dusky, 

 and the feet are red-brown. The young have the 

 beak of a paler red, and the elevation upon it is 

 much smaller. One in the Museum at Paris has 

 the tip of the tail chesnut-red : it is evidently a 

 young bird, as the beak wants the characteristic 

 mark of the old one. 

 Native of Brasil.
