This is a smaller bird than the S. niffricephala, and has the lesser 

 wing-coverts chestnut and not black. From the true zena it may be 

 distinguished by its smaller bill, the more extended and brighter 

 yellow colour on the belly, and by its having the whole back of the 

 neck bright yellow, not dark chestnut.
