Estribillo or Coletilla

I seem to have a bit of confusion about this and I feel like more people do than will admit to. When is it an estrobillo and when is it a coletilla? I kind of thought of it as a coletilla immediately following a letra and an estribillo being somewhat "disconnected" and showing up at the end of a choreography.......... How lost am I??

Collatilla is the added on part of a melody...estribillo would be something that repeats lyrics or could possibley be sung in chorus fashion. If an estribillo is also attached to a letra directly following it, I guess I could see why someone might refer to it as a little tail ending also.

An example of collatilla would be the "tiri tiri tran tran" type melody in Alegrias, if it be the version with words of course, and an example of estribillo would be anything sung in fandangos that is not the normal copla section that goes to major key.
