The characters which distinguish this species from C. tricolor are its somewhat smaller size (wing 3-4 inches), the brownish edges to the outer webs of the primaries, the shorter middle pair of tail-feathers, not greatly exceeding the second pair in length, and the smaller white tips to the four outer pairs. In addition to the male obtained by Whitehead, the British Museum possesses three birds collected by Swinhoe. These differ from the type in having the middle pair of tail-feathers longer than the following pair, but agree in having the outer webs of the primaries brownish and the white tips to the tail-feathers shorter.
