Mr. Charles Chubb on the 
distinguished by the absence of red in the plumage and 
by the yellow tufts on the lower flanks. 
[I could not say positively whether this species is with 
ns all the year round, as it is more of an open camp bird 
than a forest lover. In the neighbourhood of Asuncion it 
is much more common than at Sapucay. I have met with 
it from September to April, but whether it remains on the 
open lands during the cold months of winter I do not feel 
sure enough to say, but I think it very probable it only 
seeks the shelter of the forest at that period and is not 
migratory.— W. F.~\
