Plate V. Male.
Bristles longer than in the last, second quill longest; tail very
long, nearly even; upper parts light greyish-blue; quills dusky brown,
their outer webs greyish-blue, the two outer margined with white;
middle tail-feathers and edges of the rest like the back; lower parts
and a band on the forehead ochre-yellow, with a few faint dusky spots
on the lower part of the fore neck. This species differs from the last
chiefly in being of a more elongated form, in having the bristles much
longer, the upper parts of a much lighter tint; in wanting the black
band down the side of the neck, and the yellow band over the eye, the
bill is straighter and more pointed, and the outer primaries are edged
with white.
