A still more magnificent species of turkey than the one just described
inhabits Honduras. It may be distinguished from the common turkey by
the eye-like marks on the tail and upper wing-coverts. The naked skin
of the head and neck, too, is of a delicate violet-blue, covered with
numerous pea-looking knobs arranged in a cluster upon the crown. This
is of a pale buff-orange, while there is a row of similar marks over the
eye, and others scattered about the neck. The wattle hanging from the
neck is of a light orange at the tip. The greater wing-coverts are of a
rich chestnut, the feet and legs being of a lake colour. It is somewhat
smaller than the wild turkey of the States.
