 usually with a light greenish, often black-edged dorsolateral streak, starting from 

 the superciliary edge ; a more or less distinct dark canthal streak and a dark band 

 on the temple and side of neck, or continued along the body, sometimes with blue 

 spots, edged below, but no further than the shoulder, by a light streak starting from 

 the lower eyelid. Lower parts yellow, often greenish on the sides.
