searching for Poospiza tissues

[paul handford]

This info. request represents part of an effort to locate TISSUES, or to
find leads to locating such, of species in the neotropical emberizine
passerine bird genus, Poospiza.

Of particular interest are the following:

P. cinerea (regarded by some as conspecific w/P. melanoleuca),
P. lateralis,
P. thoracica,
P. nigrorufa (sensu stricto - the lowland taxon, not P. whitii, the Andean
species),
P. rubecula,
P. alticola,
P. caesar.

If you have any ideas atall on this, I should be most grateful to hear of
them.  Thanks in advance for any response.
