This is another beautiful species, rather larger than the former, and the tail is differently shaped. In this bird the middle feather is the shortest, the tail being forked; round the upper part of the breast there is also a rich band of orange crimson. The plumage of this bird, both above and below, is of a jet glossy black, the side-feathers of the tail are six inches long.
