The female has the lower back and sides of the rump bright yellow, surrounded below 

 with green. 



The young resembles the male and, like it, has a crimson lower back, but the crimson 

 feathers of the hind neck and breast are margined with purplish blue, and the blackish 

 abdomen is washed with green and has blue endings to the feathers. (SJiarpe.) 



According to Salvadori, the young male has the crimson feathers of the neck and breast 

 margined with purplish, the abdomen and thighs are more or less green and blue, and the 

 back yellow with more or less red. 



The six specimens in the National Collection show no noteworthy differences other than 

 what are due to sex and age.
