lavender shimmer — bright hydranger-red — (dark vinaceous, almost 
always, more or less touched with lavender in true lewcocephala); 
outer surface of closed wing paler and duller blue, more greenish,— 
much more as in A. |. caymanensis; shorter upper tail coverts, some- 
times also longer upper tail coverts and lower rump feathers, more 
or less extensively edged and tipped with red (Cuban examples of 
true A. lewcocephala seldom show such red markings, and when they 
do only to a very slight extent). Brown noted the iris as brown 
and the orbital skin as white to grayish white, the tarsus as yellow.
