Bill pea-green, becoming olive-green towards the base; 
tarsi and feet purplish red ; iris crimson. 
According to Mr. Foster, this species is resident and 
fairly common along the swampy streams of the forest and 
also on the edges of the large swamps. 
The biid takes its name from the manner in which it calls 
in the evening “ Cherico cherico-co-co.” 
This is the first time that I have had the opportunity of 
examining a specimen of this species from Paraguay, which 
is the habitat of the “ Chiricote ” of Azara. 
I have compared it with the series determined by Dr. 
Sharpe in the British Museum, and find that Mr. Foster's 
specimen agrees with others from New Granada and Brazil 
and differs only in the rather paler grey thighs.
