(The literature referring to specimens from British New Guiuea pertains to this 

 form, which is the representative of typical lii/jicri/thra in the eastern parts of New 

 Guinea.) Differs from P. h. hijjieri/thra as follows : 



The mantle and rump are duller, much less bright, not so yellowish, more 

 brownish. The ear-coverts, which are more or less ochraceous, contrasting with the 

 crown, are ashy-slate, like the crown, or only very slightly tinged with ochraceous, 

 not in sharp contrast with tlie crown. The breast and abdomen are much paler and 

 duller, not so bright ochraceous, but more brownish buff. Dimensions similar.
