Adult male. Black glossed with purplish or steel-blue ; feathers 

 of the lower back, rump, and upper tail-coverts with a terminal 

 white band very narrow on the latter ; soft parts as in G. albo- 

 a-istatiis. Size the same as in the other species. 



Immature males have less gloss on the feathers, the edges of the 

 wing-coverts, scapulars, and upper tail-coverts, and the outer 

 margins of the secondaries vermiculated with rufous and buff. 



Adult female. Eesembles the female of G. leucomelanus or G. 

 muthura, but in old specimens the centre pair of tail-feathers 

 become uniform dark chestnut, whereas in the two latter there is 

 alwavs some black mottling. As a rule the rump is paler and more 

 olive-brown, and contrasts rather strongly with the middle pair of 

 tail-feathers. 



Hob. Eastern Bhootan, Assam, Sylhet, Cachar, Manipur, Hill
