Precisely similar to C. asiatica, but somewhat smaller ; entirely wants the 

 black crown-band, and to a great extent the narrow yellowish line preceding it, 

 and has these replaced by a broader turquoise blue band, thus diminishing the 

 depth of the occipital red patch ; pectoral red patches rather larger.
