'Eye: inner ring yellow, outer lake-red; bill at base brick-red, tipped with yellow; feet deep coral-red.' (Whitehead.) Length, 400; wing, 180; tail, 129; tarsus, 32. "Adult female.--Similar to the male, but crown of a less crimson tinge; lower part of the back, rump, and tail bronze-green, distinctly greener than in the male; upper part of the breast-patch orange-red without the crimson wash. Length, 373; wing, 173; tail, 114; tarsus, 29. "Young male.--The whole of the upper parts is brownish bronze shot with green; the dull crimson of the top of the head and the free crimson webs of the secondaries are just beginning to make their appearance; the whole of the feathers of the chest and upper breast are gray, widely tipped with bronze-green, the only patches of pure gray feathers being visible on each side of the neck. The orange-red breast-patch is represented by a deep orange feather in the middle of the chest and some dark carmine feathers. Otherwise the rest of the plumage is much like that of the adult."
