The male is entirely
blue-black as seen in photos 1, 2, 6 and 7. It has a narrow
scarlet crown patch which is only visible when the bird is
excited. Its under-wings are white but this is only visible in
flight.
The female is rufous-brown above and lighter brown below with flammulation on the breast which is well illustrated in photos 4 and 8. |
