Mindanao (Goodfellow, Celestino).

Adult.—“Adult male and female differ from the male and female of C. lucidus in having the mantle and wing-coverts orange with scarcely a tinge of crimson. In the female also the top of the head and occipital crest are orange, not washed with crimson. In the male: ‘Iris red; upper mandible black, lower greenish yellow; feet blackish gray.’ In the female: ‘Iris ruby-red; upper mandible black, lower greenish yellow; feet grayish olive.’ Length, about 241; culmen, 38; wing, 132; tail, 74; tarsus, 28.

“In C. lucidus the greater part of the wing-coverts and the outer margins of the secondaries are crimson, giving the whole wing a crimson appearance, whereas in the present form, though some of the males have narrow crimson-orange edges to the wing-coverts, the general color of the wings is distinctly orange.

“This form may be regarded as a partially alpine representative of C. lucidus, of which it is no doubt a subspecies; it also occurs on the coast, for two fully adult male specimens were procured at Piso.” (Grant.)
