Both male and female have a yellow iris. The male is turquoise blue with black lores,
mask, wings and tail. The centre of the belly and crissum are white as are the underwing coverts which you can see just showing through at the front
of the wing.
The female (on the right in photo 3) is much less colourful being largely brown-olive above and pale grey below. |
