“ This species,” says Mr. Fraser, “ is most closely allied to 
Pitta hrachyura, (Auct.) but differs from that bird in having 
the bill and feet red, a band over the eye, which is tawny, 
instead of olive brown; in the uniform colouring of the pri- 
maries, secondaries, and tail feathers, the two former not being 
tipped with white, nor the latter with green; and finally, in the 
absence of the red vent.
