 dricolor, and inhabits the same place ; but is much

 gradually changing into rufous towards the breast, 

 which is of the latter colour : plumage on the upper 

 parts green ; with the lower part of the back and 

 rump rufous : belly, sides, and thighs, the same : 

 upper tail-coverts, and middle of the belly, red : 

 quills brown, with green margins : the two middle 

 tail-feathers green, the rest brown, all of them 

 edged with red : legs grey.
