The young male in its first plumage is like the female, and 
tbe first appearance of the male attire is shown by the grey 
on the abdomen, by a few chestnut-coloured feathers on the 
throat, and by the appearance of slate-grey on the scapulars. 
[Another species which is by no means uncommon in the 
dense forests of the Central region of Paraguay. I have 
never met with it in the southern provinces, but here it is 
quite at home. A quick able bird, its dark plumage would 
be a good protection if it could only keep quiet for a time* 
but that seems impossible, and the result is that it can easily 
be shot.— W. -F.]
