This bird is said to inhabit the warmer parts of 

 America and Saint Domingo, and is described by 

 Latham as a variety of the Louisiane Lapwing ; 

 but it appears to be a distinct species. It is thus 

 described by that ornithologist: " Size of the 

 Louisiane species : beak yellow ; the base of it sur- 

 rounded with a yellow skin, as in that bird: the 

 head and upper parts pale yellow : the under yel- 

 lowish white, inclining to rose-colour : tail as the 

 back, but the side-feathers incline to rose-colour ou 

 the inner webs : legs yellow."
