This is an elegant species, although there is not much variety in the colors. It is rather smaller in size than the former, and is entirely of a deep glossy black, excepting the rump which is of a vivid crimson. From the striking contrast of the colors, it has a fine appearance. This and the preceding species are sometimes brought here; they have the same manners and habits, and the same whistling note.

Food and treatment the same as the Icteric. They are natives of South America.
