Tlierc are three young birds, red to tlie flanks and tlie under 

 tail-coverts also tinged with the same colour in one specimen, 

 but the red on the body is not glossy like that on the adults ; the 

 outer webs of the primaries and secondaries are margined with 

 olive, under surface of the abdomen and flanks, and under tail- 

 coverts washed with olive.
