stomach of the one I shot contained a large hairy caterpillar

Common in April at Baradero, and seen here in May and 
June. In its habits and food it resembles the other T&ni- 
opterce , and seems fond of going in small flocks. Beak, 
legs, and feet black ; iris wood-brown.

Resident, I believe, but rare. It is generally found in 
flocks; and I have only observed it twice, on the 25th May 
and 30th July. It, like other Tceniopterce , is a restless bird, 
always fly-catching or playing. Individuals vary much in 
plumage, from grey to white on the back and underparts. 
Their food consists of larvae and Coleoptera. Beak, legs, and 
feet black. Iris wood-brown.

Not uncommon from October to the end of February. I 
also met with a few examples about the 10th of August.

Though I have no doubt about the specific identity of the 
black- and red-plum aged birds, there are one or two points 
which seem to favour the view of their being distinct. The 
black-plumaged birds in the summer are decidedly more nu¬ 
merous than the red-plumaged ones; and in winter the propor¬ 
tion is at least eight to one. I can only suppose that there is a 
partial migration of the females. I have several times flushed 
the red-plumaged bird from the nest, but the black bird 
never. 
g . Beak pale primrose-yellow, inside of mouth paler. 
Iris and naked skin round the eye primrose-yellow, but the 
skin round the eye paler in the female than the male. Legs, 
feet, and claws in both sexes black.
