Coloration in life of adult male. — Above dark brown,

 and lower jaw also dark, but with more red than the breast. 

 Sides of body and neck lake red ; a black antehumeral spot. 



Coloration in life of adult female. — Above dusky greenish 

 spotted with black, becoming dusky on the tail, and brown on 

 the head; limbs above with much light olive. Sides of body 

 dark lake red, chest lighter red; lower jaw and throat dark, 

 like the sides. Belly and limbs below clay yellow; tail 

 inferiorly dusky yellow. Sides of head light brown; sides of 

 neck dark red like throat; a black antehumeral spot. 



Variation. — Males may have the throat quite light, but it 

 usually is dark, and this coloring extends down over the un- 

 der surface of the shoulders. Females have light or dark 

 gray throats, sometimes with a slight showing of red. The 

 dark coloring of the back may extend down on the lower sur- 

 faces of the body and limbs, so that these surfaces may be 

 everywhere dark gray, or may show only a little gray. 



The interoccipital is as wide as long. Variation in the scale 

 counts is shown in the following table:
