The eggs closely resemble eggs of the Crested Flycatcher of the 
eastern United States. They are pale creamy buff in color, marked 
with longitudinal lines, dashes and irregular blotches of bay brown 
overlying similar markings of purplish drab. They are ovate in form 
and measure 24.8 x 17; 23.8 x 16.7 and 24 x 17 mm. 
A second nest containing three fresh eggs was found April 12th. 
This nest was in a hole in the centre of an old rotten stump, about 
91.5 cm- from the ground, the cavity being open from above. The 
nesting material was in every way similar to that described above. 
The eggs are similar in color but with the markings more thickly 
spread over the surface and consisting of narrower lines, scratches 
and dashes of color. The measurements are 24 x 17.5 ; 24.7 x 17.9 and 
24.2 X 17.7 mm. respectively. 
A male in juvenal plumage, taken at Caicara May 6th, is very 
similar to the adult, differing rmly in that the upper parts are more 
brownish and less olive, and that the wing-coverts and secondaries 
are broadly edged and tipped with pale russet instead of brownish 
buff-.

Much less common than the preceding species. 
Adult birds have the eye seal brown: bill black; feet l^lackish slate. 
I have compared specimens from Ciudad Bolivar and Caicara 
with Lawrence's type of '■enc.':iiclensis and tind them closely similar.
