Immature
Once the juvenile plumage is moulted, which is dark brown, they already aquire the bright green and resemble the adult females, but they conserve a wide ochre area on wing feathers, which is restricted to a very thin margin on primaries in the adult female. This individual is already moulting the head, with remnants of the brown juvenile plumage.
