 with dark red feathers; rest of upper parts bright parrot green, 

 except primary coverts, primaries, and distal secondaries; primary 

 coverts (at least in part) geranium red or light scarlet-red; primaries 

 (except the outermost) dark blue on outer webs and terminal portion 

 of inner webs, edged with green basally and (more or less) with dull 

 whitish or pale brownish distally, the inner webs, including terminal 

 portion of those of longer quills, dull black; outer webs of distal sec- 

 ondaries lighter blue, more broadly edged with green; inner webs of 

 four outer rectrices with basal half (more or less) red (dull spectrum 

 red), the distal half parrot green passing into pale yellowish green
