The female differs from the male chiefly in its slightly 
smaller size and in the absence of the black on the lores and 
the ring round the eye. 
[This species is resident and can be found in all the 
forests, even close to Asuncion. It is a pretty little bird, 
quick and lively in its movements, and by no means shy. I 
have met with it during most months of the year, but I have 
never been able to discover its nest. This is not to be 
wondered at when one looks over the hundreds of square 
miles of forest; it seems well-nigh impossible to find any 
uest at all, particularly one belonging to a not very 
abundant species.— W. F.~\
