Two males, taken by Smith on Doi Langka, November 10, 1930, and 

 April 27, 1931, are the only examples of this apparently rare form yet 

 known from Thailand. 



Smith records that one of his specimens had the irides dark brown ; 

 the maxilla black ; the mandible "dark blue" ; the feet and toes "light 

 blue." 



The adult male has the extreme forehead blackish; the remaining 

 upperparts deep ultramarine, brighter and glistening on the crown; 

 the lores black ; the sides of the head and neck black ; overlaid with deep 

 ultramarine; the underparts light golden-orange, albescent on the 

 center of the abdomen ; the under tail coverts, under wing coverts, and 

 axillaries pure white. The adult female (not seen by me) is described 

 by Stuart Baker as having the "whole upper plumage olive-brown, 

 more rufous on the lower back, rump and upper tail-coverts ; tail and 

 wing-feathers brown edged with rufous-brown; lores and cheek ful- 

 vous-yellow mottled with brown; whole lower plumage pale saffron- 

 yellow, albescent on centre of abdomen, vent and under tail-coverts."
