R.K.Selander, 1952 Henicophaps leucophrus La Puerta, 7000 ft., 31 mi. SW Orizaba, Veracruz, Mexico. August 1 This was rather common throughout oak forest. Frequent the low shrubs and smaller trees. Very secretive in habits, yet very noisy and easily excited to activity by a squeak or two. Heard singing once in afternoon. Never seen to fly up into oak trees; they apparently occupy a niche near the ground. Probably little if any competition with C. megalepterus which frequent the middle and higher part of the oak trees. H. leucophrus has a note - a "dit dit dit dit, etc." - very sharp, staccato. An immature specimen obtained yesterday.
