This differs from the Indian race in the greater extent of the black on the 

 sides and back of the neck, extending from the latter nearly on to the back, 

 and having a well marked white band separating it from the olive-brown of the 

 back, which is glossed with green and very faint purple. The white band behind 

 the eye is, of course, enclosed by the black of the neck. This species is common 

 at Bhamd and in the Sanda valley.
