There are 7 sub-species and, from its distribution, these photographs are of B. l. melanosterna. It is very similar to the photo in HBW, Page 75 taken at Carajás by Luiz Claudio Marigo. However, compared to the illustration on Page 92, the white on the belly does not reach up to the breast and the base of both the mandible and the maxilla is pale yellow. | |||
