Taczanowski says that the bird from Cutervo, N. Peru, differs 

 from Ecuador specimens in having the plumbeous colour of the 

 crown darker, and the reflections of the interscapular region green 

 instead of violet-blue. Perhaps it belongs to a distinct species.

Similar to G. bourcieri, but differs in having the forehead and 

 cheeks of a much deeper vinous colour, and the grey on the head 

 also much darker ; altogether it is a darker bird, especially on the 

 underparts; the breast is decidedly brown-grey.
