brown, a white spot in the centre of the fourth, fifth, and sixth ; tail brownish green ; breast light green, 
with metallic reflections ; abdomen black ; crissum and under tail-coverts deep red ; bill dark brown ; 
feet and tarsi very light brown. Signor D’Alhertis records the soft parts as follows: — “Bill black; feet 
leaden violet-colour, or brownish ; eyes black or chestnut-brown.” Mr. Wallace gives them as — “ Bill 
black, feet dusky, iris olive-brown.” Young birds, according to Count Salvadori, have the head blackish 
brown, and the green of the back not uniform, the throat greyish, and the lower parts varied with green 
and greyish brown, the black spot on the abdomen less strongly pronounced, and the red of the abdomen 
and under tail-coverts pale and feebly indicated.
