Immature. — Similar to adults but without any yellow on head, the 

 entire suborbital and lower part of loral region being yellowish green, 

 like auricular region, etc. ; red of forehead more restricted, sometimes 

 broken by admixture of green feathers; feathers of hindneck without 

 trace of sub terminal lilaceous bar; a inner webs of lateral rectrices 

 with the subbasal red spot much reduced (a mere trace, only, on next 

 to the outermost).

° The last character, however, often present in adults. The immature plumage of 

 A. a. autumnalis is almost precisely similar to that of the adult A. a. salvini; in fact, 

 the only difference that I can detect consists in the absence, in the former, of bluish, 

 lavender, or lilaceous subterminal bars to the feathers of the hindneck, these being 

 always present in the adult of A. a. salvini, and in great reduction of red on subbasal 

 portion of lateral rectrices.
