Adults {sexes alike) . — General color plain green (light parrot green 

 above, nearly apple green below), deeper and more bluish green on 

 primaries, primary coverts, and alulae, the remiges, rectrices, etc., 

 with black shafts; anterior portion of forehead (very narrowly) 

 sometimes suffused with dull brownish red; under wing-coverts, 

 edge of wing, and outer lesser coverts at bend of wing, bright poppy 

 red; under primary coverts yellowish olive (sometimes with some 



a In a specimen without trace of red on forehead there is considerable red on the 

 under wing-coverts, while in one without a trace of red on the under wing-coverts 

 there is a considerable amount of red on the forehead; so it would seem that there is 

 usually if not always some red in one or the other of the places named in the young 

 of this species.
