Marshall (1942) Pranga leucoptera Chilata # 2540 from Chilata - look up location in catalog Volcano de Santa Ana Contrary to Vank's account, this bird was very common and occurred in loose flocks or groups wherever found in dense cloud forests. 1st in dense trees on N slope Cerr. de los Majojos in same trees with Vermivora superciliosa, Chlorophonia, Rynchocyclus, Oreopelia. Feeding in high foliage with Chlorophonia in small flocks but easily attracted down by owl calls. Both sp. in groups throughout this homogeneous cloud-forest area on rather steep slope. Not a noisy bird - rather quiet. In the forest of very large fig-oaks, etc. on Cerr. del Aguila (N & S slopes) they were flocks of 8-9 birds occasionally flushed from bushes under big trees, generally worked up very high into trees. There was a bird about 4 or 5 singing M's on their top twig in full view out that sang from tops, highest densest trees - same song perches every day (several nearby trees, the indivs. birds widely spaced) sang exactly like house finch. Never could hit. One fired into top foliage where one was singing - altho many bird foraging up there I brought down a Pranga leucoptera ' '. Circumstantial evidence that
