Collected. A.H.M. Had wounded this bird the evening before. No sounds were given. Coloration decidedly con-cealing especially in the dark dense tree clumps. Hadn't noticed the outline of the bird until a few seconds had passed. Some small pellets found in this region and apparently are of this species.
