Adult male. Similar to that of C. vertkalls in general coloration 

 but the tail is coloured like that of G. violiceps. The crown is not 

 glittering purple-blue as in these allied forms, but dark greenish on 

 the vertex, shading into very dark greenish indigo on the forehead. 

 The flanks under the wings are shining green. 



Apparently a distinct form, having ;i similar range to C. violicejis.
