 sides of the head golden yellow, bordered on the nape by a 

 narrow but distinct blood-red margin ; whole body above

$ ad. — Upper-parts dull olive-greenish; Aviugs and tail 

 dark brown, margined with the colour of the back. Sides 

 of the head and under surface rather duller greenish than 

 the back ; middle of the abdomen yellowish white. Axillaries 

 and under-wing-coverts whitish, the latter slightly tinged 

 with yellowish at the tips. Inner webs of the remiges very

 capilla $ , perhaps rather more greenish underneath, but 

 easily known by its short tail, which never exceeds 25 mm. 

 in length. Wing 57-61 ; tail 21-24; bill 8-9 mm. 



There is a large amount of variability in the intensity of the 



yellow colour of the head and the development of the red 



border on the nape. I have examined 103 adult males from
