«One specimen, from Mona Island. This bird seems really different from true 

 A. chloroptera (from Santo Domingo). The bill, while the culmen is slightly longer 

 than the minimmn of that measurement in A. chlorojHera seems both shorter and 

 narrower (transversely), there isno angleor "tooth" on the maxillary tomiiun, and the 

 color of the bill much darker, the maxilla being deep brownish horn color for the 

 basal half. There is no red whatever on the lesser coverts of the outside surface of the 

 wing, and the under primary coverts are wholly light red (strawberry pink or light coral 

 red), except that on the left wing the two outermost under primary coverts are light 

 yellowish olive, these feathers probably representing remnants of the immature 

 plumage. The toes also appear to be more slender, and the anterior portion of the 

 head duller, more olivaceous, green than in adults of A. chloroptera.
