| The male is bright purple-blue with yellow legs and black on the throat, face mask, wings and tail. The female is green above and paler green below with bluish streaks. This bird is an immature male in the process of moulting from its female-like plumage into adult male plumage so it is probably just under one year in age. | ||||
