Once when I heard it at Mandinga, San Bias, the intonation and length were so strongly suggestive of Cyclaris that I had no idea of the true identity of the bird until it was in my hand. The call of this species is a metallic chip. These birds forage in the middle and upper level of the trees; some- times they join groups of birds, but otherwise are found singly or in pairs.

The call of this species is a metallic chip. These birds forage in the middle and upper level of the trees; some- times they join groups of birds, but otherwise are found singly or in pairs. Chapman (My Tropical Air Castle, 1929, p. 55) saw them feeding on berries of mangabe (Didymopanax morototoni) on Barro Colorado Island in the Canal Zone. A female I collected on February 24, 1952, at El Uracillo, Code, was about to lay, and a pair I took at Cerro Azul, Panama, on April 19, 1949, were near breeding. Ridgely (in litt.) saw a pair feeding a recently fledged young bird near Pucro, Darien, on March 6, 1981. A female taken by Strauch (Bull. Brit. Orn. Club, 1977, p. 65) in May was breeding, but I have no other in- formation on nesting behavior. Two collected by Strauch weighed and Figure 44.—Slate-colored Grosbeak, Piquigrueso Apizarrado, Pitylus grossus saturatus, Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Wetmore, Alexander, 1886-1978.
