 greenish bhie ; lesser wing-coverts dull greenish blue like the 

 edgings of the wings ; bill plumbeous ; feet brown : whole length

Dr. Cabanis, in 1866 (J. f. 0. 1866, p. 305), first pointed out the 

 distinctness of this species from T. cyanoptera, and soon afterwards 

 obligingly furnished me with specimens. Although I am disposed 

 to agree with his views, I find much difficulty in deciding to which 

 form to refer some of the skins before me. Probably the young of 

 T. cyanoptera closely resembles T. sayaca adult.

Apparently quite distinct, as pointed out by Cabanis, and easily 

 recognizable by its violaceous breast and the greenish-blue lesser 

 wing-coverts.
