 gold, the tail-coverts and some of the tail-feathers bright blue, 

 the wings brown, with a tinge of ferruginous red on some of 

 the lesser coverts. Throat ferruginous, with bright-blue stripes 

 along the sides, which almost meet on the breast. Abdomen 

 and breast yellow. Sometimes the head and neck have more 

 of a green colour.

 and a half in length. Colour olive-green above, greenish- 

 yellow beneath ; a yellow patch below the eyes. 



In all the Certhice the colours of the females are duller than 

 those of the males.
