This form differs from .1/. c. melanonotiis in its slightly smaller size and 

 deeper yellow colour. This is also noticeable in the females, which have a 

 brighter abdomen and somewhat less of the olive tint on the breast. In size 

 this subspecies is somewhat intermediate between melaiionotxs and aruensis.
