heavily edged with chestnut; primaries lightly edged with same color;

“Twelve males average 184 in length; wing, 84; tail, 91; culmen, 16;

“This is another ornithological puzzle of the Tablas-Romblon-Sibuyan 
group. It seems to be confined to Tablas where it is common in deep 
forests. It differs from R. cyaniceps, its nearest ally, in its larger size 
and darker blue head and in having the ochraceous buff of under parts 
replaced by deep chestnut.” (Bouwrns and Worcester.) aes
