This race is evidently only a subspecies of C. flavinucha, 

 like all the other continental races. It is generally greyer 

 below than the other forms, with the yellow of the throat of 

 the male more restricted. The first four specimens listed 

 are practically topotypes. Young birds of both sexes are 

 alike and resemble the adult female, but have the chestnut 

 malar stripe mnch less pronounced and the top of the head 

 greener. We have seen examples of this bird from eastein 

 Siam.

This immature bird evidently belongs to the northern race 

 named by Blyth, and not to the typical Malayan form in 

 which the wing does not exceed J 36 mm.
