Trides: brown. Bill: black. Legs: pale plumbeous. 
The most common member of the Genus especially in the Northern parts of the 
country, though never obtained further south than at Koh Lak (Lat. N. 11° 45’). 
At the neighbourhood of that place it was, however, rather common and as it has 
not been found gouth of Amherst (about Lat. 16° 10’ N.) before, it adds a considerable 
area to the distribution of this species. However, it has been recorded from Cambodia 
and Cochin China. 
One fine male obtained at Doi Par Sakeng in North-western Siam has a longer 
wing than specimens obtained further south, and is of about the same size as birds from 
the Himalayas, which on account of their greater size have been separated under the 
name of Chloropsis hodgsoni, GRAY apud GOULD. 
However I can find no other difference between this race and typical birds, and the 
extent of the golden yellow patch is not greater in this specimen than in other specimens 
from more southern localities.

The Burmese Chloropsis was not uncommon in the Northern Districts, where it 
occurred together with Chloropsis aurifrons TEmMM.; though never in such great numbers 
as that species. 
In the southern parts of the Malay Peninsula the Burmese Chloropsis is replaced 
by Chloropsis icterocephala Luss., which is very similar, being only separated by having 
the forehead and the band encircling the throat pure yellow instead of greenish yellow. 
This last-mentioned species may also occur in the southern parts of the Siamese 
Malaya.
