A larger species than the preceding, to which it seems to have 

 considerable affinity. It is sixteen inches in length, of a ches- 

 nut-red on the back and wing-coverts. The under-parts are 

 of a blueish vinous tint, which extends round the neck, and 

 becomes a blueish-grey on the head and cheeks. The wing- 

 feathers are of a deep brown approaching to black ; those of 

 the tail, which are long and nearly equal, are almost black, 

 with a cinereous tinge at the tips. The lower tail-coverts are 

 white. Bill and feet red. Legs feathered nearly to the toes. 

 There is no naked space round the eye, but the circle of the 

 eyelids is bright red. The iris is white.
