pileum ; the one marked femalo has no red on the pileum, and the 

 carpal edge green-yellow, so that I think it is a young bird : the 

 third specimen has the metacarpal edge yellowish green mixed with 

 red, and I think it is not fully adult ; it is marked young male, but 

 I should say that it is a female nearly adult, as it wants the red 

 feathers of the male on the pileum, and on the forehead only the 

 bases of the feathers are red.
