New records. Several individuals foraging in the grasslands of the ESNR on 14 Feb. 2016. We recorded this species systematically in all samples since then.

Identification. Light olive dorsal region with striated brown; fluted brown crown; tailbone and sides of the head yellowish olive; wings and tail dark brown, lighter towards the edge; flanges and bright yellow eye area; fe- male similar to the male but clearer.

Remarks. Between February and May, males are recorded flying energetically over the grasslands while vo- calizing, a behavior associated with courtship.

Distribution. Southern Mexico to Argentina and Chile.
