Luzon, but slightly larger, with the upper parts olive-green instead of brownish 
olive-gray; under parts nearly uniform lemon-yellow instead of canary-yellow.”

and violet instead of green-blue; under parts shading very gradually from rich 
orange, adjoining the dark metallic plastron, to clear yellow on the crissum and 
under tail-coverts; back a more golden olive-green than in the other Philippine 
forms; forehead, lores, and superciliary stripe solid metallic violet purple.”
