Cryptolopha poiocephala

A small bird with a conspicuous crest of broad feathers nearly black in the middle, the head, neck, throat, and breast uniform cinereous terminating abruptly, the rest of the upper plumage olive yellow margining the dark brown wing and tail feathers. From the breast to the under tail covers it is pure bright yellow, the legs slender and pale fulvous, the rictal bristles nearly as long as the bill, total length about four and a half inches.
