336 Manual of the Game Birds of India. 



The male bird has the whole plumage 

 glossy black with glossy blue margins to 

 most of the feathers, and each feather of 

 the back and rump with a terminal white 

 fringe about one-fifth of an inch in width. 

 The plumage is not lanceolate as in the 

 preceding three species. 



The female is undistinguishable from 

 the female White-crested Kalij-Pheasant. 



In size this Pheasant does not differ 

 from its allies already noticed, but it seems 

 to be a heavier bird, Mr. Hume giving 

 the maximum weight as 2| lb.
