Specimens from the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, and Borneo, “have the orbital 
region less dusky [than those from Java]; the sides of the face and neck of a 
paler green” (Hargitt); ‘‘. . . the back more of a yellowish green, and 
the rump much more golden.” (Harter). 
Our specimens differ from the Typical form from Java in being smaller, and much 
brighter on the back and rump, as noted by Hartert; but the differences 
observed by Hargitt are not so noticeable.
