Mounted bird in good condition, pluniage so 

 slightly abraded that the bird jmist have been taken 

 in midvdnter or early spring at the latest. A fully 

 adult male. The bronze ruiip is mixed with violet but 

 this circumstance is because some of the upper tail 

 coverts and rump feathers have been pulled out, thus 

 exposing the violet sub-terminal portions of the 

 remaining feathers. Plumage rough - not smooth as 

 in the north-western race. It is unquestionally 

 the eastern race that bears this name. While 

 Stresemann has selected 7397 as the type, there is 

 another Deppe taken skin which is probably a cotype.
