The bird was very common on TaHsse Island, but there are no 

 differences between skins from that locality and the mainland. There 

 is no sexual difference, with the exception of the colouring of the 

 beak already alluded to ; but it is noticeable that some birds have a 

 very marked reddish-copper gloss on the upper surface, while in 

 others the strong green reflections are almost destitute of this 

 colour.

 Some examples tend to bright coppery reflections, others to shining 

 green, without reference to sex. The young bird is without the 

 blue-black nuchal band, but a few of the reddish-purple feathers are 

 beginning to appear; the head is fulvous, washed with greyish 

 green ; upper breast tawny ; bar on the tail narrow and ill-defined.
