 Macropygia tusalia, Sharpe (nee Hodr/s.), 1. c. (Perak). 



Like M. tusalia, but smaller: wing 6*5 to 7 inches. 



Adult male. The barring of the upper surface is conspicuously 

 broader and more rufous, especially on the tail, and the metallic 

 colours less bright. The plumage is, perhaps, more rufous below, 

 and the under tail-coverts generally, not always, cinnamou rufous 

 rather than buff ; the Javan male has the nape green with purple 

 reflections, while the Sumatran male has the reverse, purple with 

 green reflections ; but the same variations are met in the Indian 

 J/, tiisttlia : '• bill black ; iris very narrow, yellow ; eyelids red ; 

 feet red " ( Wallace). 



Adult female. Similar to that of M. tusalia, but the sides and 

 flanks decidedly more rufous. The head, neck, and mantle are 

 barred brown and rufous like the rest of the upper surface; a slight 

 tingo of purple on the head ; the feathers of the neck, mantle, and 

 breast with transverse bars of golden brown, tipped metallic green, 

 with purple reflections. 



Young. Much like the female, but with light bars on the hind 

 neck and mantle pale butl'y in place of rufous, and the metallic 

 colours confined to the bars on the breast.
