bird. It is about 9 inches (16–18 cm) long with about 2 inches made up

distinguishable. The entire plumage is bright green and tinged with
blue especially on the chin and throat. The crown and upper back are
tinged with golden rufous. The flight feathers are rufous washed with
green and tipped with blackish. A fine black line runs in front of and
behind the eye. The iris is crimson and the bill is black while the
legs are dark grey. The feet are weak with the three toes joined at
the base. Southeast Asian birds have rufous crown and face, and green
underparts, whereas Arabian beludschicus has a green crown,
blue face and bluish underparts. The wings are green and the beak is
black. The elongated tail feathers are absent in juveniles. Sexes are
alike.
