Described by Brisson and Buffon as of the 

 length of twelve inches : head and upper parts fine 

 green ; cheeks and sides of the neck, in the old 

 birds, speckled with bright red; gradually becom- 

 ing more conspicuous as the bird advances in age: 

 smaller wing-coverts red ; greater yellow, and both 

 quill and tail-feathers dusky yellow beneath : bill 

 whitish ; legs and feet grey. Native of Cayenne 

 and the Antilles, where it is not uncommon, often 

 flying in flocks; frequenting wooded savannahs, 

 and feeding in preference on the berries of the 

 Erythrina Corallodendron. Buflbn observes, that
