Young birds have a plain green head and lack the black on their face and throat. The black of the face and throat appears slightly duller in females. The southern Indian race, '' C. a. frontalis'', has a narrower yellow border to black face. The throat is black and it has a blue sub-moustachial stripe and duller orange forehead. Towards the extreme south of India and [[Sri Lanka]] the race ''insularis'' occurs which is slightly smaller than ''frontalis''.<ref name=ras>Rasmussen, P. C. & J. Anderton 2005.
