Immature. The immature bird in transitional stage changes the 

 green feathers of the back and the wing-coverts into yellow ones ; 

 also the olive-green feathers of the lower back and upper tail-coverts 

 are changed by moulting into yellow ones ; the greenish tinge of 

 the throat gradually disappears, and the underparts become more 

 and more yellow, tinged with orange.

In the young stage this bird shows a great resemblance to C. jen- 

 daya adult, from which it may be easily distinguished by the yeilow 

 tinge of the green back, the yellow edges of the upper wing-coverts, 

 the greenish tinge of the throat, and by the yellow-orange tinge of 

 the lower parts.
