Specimens from Sumatra and Java are on the whole less brightly 

 coloured than Malayan birds, especially on the underparts ; and 

 the chest and sides of the breast even in perfectly adult specimens 

 have the basal half of the feathers irregularly barred and marked 

 with black ; the black feathers of the mantle, instead of being 

 ornamented with a white submarginal band, are irregularly barred 

 with yellowish white.
