Adult male; spring plumage. Entire upper parts, excepting 
forehead, clear, bright, olive green, with a tinge of yellowish in cer- 
tain lights ; quills and rectrices dark plumbeous brown, their outer 
webs fringed with olive green like that of the back. Below, includ- 
ing crissum, bright cadmium yellow of nearly the same shade 
throughout. Forehead, bright yellow, this color bounded anteriorly 
by a very narrow black line from lores, and behind gradually mer- 
ging into the clear olive green of crown ; feathers of vertex with a 
median concealed area of black. Lores velvety black ; auriculars 
black, tipped with vellowish-green, giving them a mottled appear- 
ance. A yellow area beneath the eye separates the black of lores 
from that of auriculars. 
Greater and lesser wing coverts tipped with greenish-yellow, form- 
ing two indistinct wing-bars ; outer primary edged with whitish. 
Inner webs of two outer tail feathers narrowly margined with white 
near the tip.
