Differs from P. rJiodochrous in having the forebead, superciliary 
streak, cbeeks, throat, and under-parts, with the rump, silvery 
crimson, being almost silvery white about the head ; the upper parts, 
with the crown, are dark brown, with pale crimson edges to each 
feather. The female differs from the same sex of P. rTiodochrous in 
having the under-parts dusky-white, instead of rufescent ; and above, 
the colours are also less rufescent. 
The size is the same as P. rJiodochrous, excepting that the wing in 
this bird is longer in both sexes. 
Both sexes of this species and P. rJiodocJirous were sent from Nepal 
to the British Museum by Mr. Hodgson, under the name of pulcher- 
rimus, and which name, upon examining his original drawings, we find 
refers to the true rhodochrous, and not to the present species ; but as 
that indefatigable naturalist applied the name to both birds, we deem 
it but correct to retain the same for the above.
