 and swamps : it is in length five inches and a half: 

 beak black : the upper parts of its plumage deep 

 olive-green, glossed with blue, particularly on the 

 edges of the tail and head : wings dusky, but so 

 broadly edged with olive-green as to appear wholly

 coverts there is a triangular spot of yellowish 

 white : the three exterior tail-feathers have each 

 a spot of white on their inner webs ; the tail itself 

 is slightly forked : from the nostrils, over the eyes, 

 extends a fine line of white, and the lower eyelid 

 is touched with the same tint : lores blackish : 

 sides of the neck and coverts of the ears olive- 

 green : the entire lower parts of the colour of 

 yellow ochre, with a tinge of greenish : throat 

 dusky: legs long, and flesh-coloured: both sexes
