A black moustachial stripe with red in proximal part, expanding at rear and joining with the black of the breast. Throat white with black streaking. Hindneck and upperparts black. Outer scapulars with white outer webs forming a line. Wing and wing coverts black with a white area on the bases of inner webs of the primaries and secondaries. Tail black. Breast black.

How the map was made
The original program computed each red dot at display time from the locality's coordinates, using its map library and one of five base maps drawn for the screen widths of the day. That library's projection — an oblique rotation of the sphere about the map's own centre, 23.7°S 47.4°W — was read from the program and checked against the graticule the same program drew into the base maps: it reproduces every grid intersection to within about a pixel. The dots here use that projection on the 1280-pixel base map, with the coordinates the discs record. Nothing was placed by hand, no modern map data was used, and a place whose coordinate is incomplete, out of range or beyond the map's edge is listed rather than guessed.
The discs carried location maps only; none shows a distribution or range.
The account, continued
Voice
Most common call a 'pik urrrrrrrr' (vocalizations # 1 and 2). Also a far carrying 'wic wic wic wic wic . . .' and a 'wika wika wika . . '. Both sexes drum with 5-8 slow taps followed by a long accelerated rattle.
Behavior
Singly or in pairs or family groups foraging at all heights of trees and telephone poles. Descends to the ground and tosses leaves.
Breeding
July to November.
Habitat and status
Common in humid and dry forest and edge, gardens and parks, second growth. Avoids marshes, but visits mangroves. More open areas are preferred.
Distribution
Throughout, up to 1900 meters

Across the three discs
The work was published on three discs — Disc 2 in 2001, Disc 3 in 2006 and Disc 1 in 2011. Where they differ, that is a difference between historical releases, and it is never merged away. The 2011 disc is not treated as correcting the earlier ones.
