FIGURE 4 in Taxonomic status of Parotia berlepschi Kleinschmidt, 1897 based on analysis of external appearance, voice and behavior (Aves: Paradisaeidae)

FIGURE 4. Female facial markings and eye color of (A) P. berlepschi and (B) P. carolae. The forehead of P. berlepschi has more extensive white in the middle, which extends almost to the fore-crown; the brown loral patch is also more extensive with less white near the base of the upper mandible; and the supercilium extends further back onto the nape and is whiter than in P. carolae. Eye color of female-plumaged P. berlepschi is pale grey-blue (A) versus yellow in P. carolae (B). Note: the difference in tint between the two photos is largely due to differing white balance and flash settings, which make the plumage of the P. carolae image look more "warm" (orange) than the P. berlepschi image which is shifted slightly toward the "cooler" (blue) end. Image (A) is of a bird in the hand taken by BB. Image (B) is modified from photo ML 48068781.
