Adult (sexes alike).—Forehead pale gray with a yellow wash, blending into light slate-gray mixed with green on center of crown; on back of head a wide band of dark purple or deep cherry-red, extending over ear-coverts and sides of face below the eyes; remainder of upper parts, including wings and tail, nearly uniform, rich green; rectrices and quills partly blue when held toward the light; whole upper parts slightly bronze away from the light; feathers of chin and upper throat white with a yellow wash on tips; lower throat and sides of neck and breast light gray; breast covered by a large oval patch of old-gold-yellow, just behind this a broad band of deep purple; middle of abdomen pearl-gray and white; sides and flanks green; under tail-coverts light buff, the inner webs largely green; rectrices gray below with light gray tips, above very narrowly edged with light ocherous; some of the primaries and secondaries narrowly edged with buff; tips of the green tarsal feathers reaching toes. A male from Sibuyan measures: Length, 340; wing, 160; tail, 115; culmen from base, 18; middle toe with claw, 35. A male from Basilan: Wing, 148; tail, 115; culmen from base, 18; middle toe with claw, 33. A female from Mindoro: Length, 320; wing, 153; tail, 113; culmen from base, 19; middle toe with claw, 34.

Young.—The immature bird differs from the adult in having top of head, neck, and sides of face uniform green (or with a few purple feathers) and the yellow and purple areas of breast indicated by a few scattered feathers of these colors. The first primary is attenuated but not so abruptly cut on inner web as it is in the adult. In a young female from Sibuyan the bill was dull red at base; tip brown; feet pink; nails black.
