Common in open country, plantations, gardens of 
villages and towns. 
The immature male has the head and back mingled

We have used Stuart Baker’s recently published name 
for this race. It is worthy of note that L. n. timoriensis 
occurs in the extreme east of Java, while in discussing the 
species as a whole. Perissolalage chalepa, Oberholser from 
Solombo Besar Id. E. Java Sea (Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 54, 
1917, p. 182 requires consideration. In any event the sub- 
specific name for the bird hitherto known as timoriensis is
