Sp. Ch. — Male. Upper parts generally, with the head and neck all round, greenish blue ; the interscapular region darker. 
Upper part of breast pale brownish chestnut, separated from the blue of the throat by a faint white crescent ; rest of under 
parts white. A white patch on the middle wing coverts, and an obscurely indicated white band across the ends of the greater 
coverts. Loral region black. Length, about 5.50; wing, 3.90; tail, 2.60. 
Female. Brown above ; whitish beneath, with a trace of a buff pectoral band. 
Hab.— High Central Plains to the Pacific. 
This species is about the size of C. cyanea ; the bill exactly similar. The females of the two 
species are scarcely distinguishable, except by the faint traces of one or two white bands on the 
wings in amoena. Sometimes both the throat and upper part of the breast are tinged with 
pale brownish buff.
