mixed with red and yellow), those along the carpo-metacarpal edge 

 yellow, flecked or intermixed with red ; humeral edge of wing, includ-

 dull green or bluish green passing into pale yellowish green or green-

 or dull buffy whitish ; iris orange ; '^ legs and feet pale brownish in 

 dried skins (dirty whitish in life) . 



Immature (both sexes). — Similar to adults but with yellow of head 

 and neck much more restricted, in younger individuals confined to fore- 

 head, crown, loral, and suborbital regions, and chin; carpo-metacarpal 

 edge of wing pale green more or less intermixed with yellow, but 

 without red ; humeral edge of wing with red more or less reduced, the 

 bend, in younger individuals, yellow margined or flecked with red. 



Young. — Similar to the immature plumage, as described above, 

 but the yellow confined to the forehead, crown, superciliary region, 

 and upper portion of lores, the subordital region, lower portion of 

 lores, malar region, and whole throat, green.'' 



Adult male.— Length (skms), 315-345 (335); wing, 218-258 (233.6); 

 tan, 108-130.5 (120.6); culmen, 31.5-37 (34.4); tarsus, 23.5-27

« According to Prof. F. Sumichrast. 



^ Sometimes the upper margin of the suborbital feathering (at least anteriorly) and 

 the chin are yellow. 



In the young plumage there ia a close general resemblance between this species 

 and the adult of A. ochrocephala panamensis; but the latter has the whole superciliary 

 region, greater part (often whole) of the loral region, and the chin green, and there is 

 much less of red on the bend of the wing.
