magenta suffusion on the breast; others are more brilliantly magenta 

 on the upper surface; and there is some difference in the general 

 depth of the rufous color both above and below. The most im- 

 portant variation exists in the broad light stripe on the median por- 

 tion of the rump, which is in some examples silvery white, in others 

 light turquoise blue. As in other races of the species, the females are 

 somewhat lighter and duller than the males.
