= Du Tertre's description indicates a bird similar in size and coloration to A. imperi- 

 alis, but differing in having yellow on the proximal primaries. The plate in "Ex- 

 tinct Birds" (cited above), however, shows a very different looking bird -elate colored 

 on head, neck, and under parts, the yellow on wing involving all of the coverts, except 

 along the edge of the wing, which is red.
