Figure 1. Unfortunately, the foto is a little blurred and overexposed. Better fotos of this species, also from Guaramiranga, can be found on the wikiaves website. The pictures show that the local birds have a grey face. However, according to Fitzpatrick 2004a, "Race acer has almost pure white face." (p. 297). This inconsistency shows that morphology and/or range of taxon acer are not yet accurately defined.
