FIGURE 2 in Taxonomic status of Parotia berlepschi Kleinschmidt, 1897 based on analysis of external appearance, voice and behavior (Aves: Paradisaeidae)

FIGURE 2. Forehead, facial, crown and nape appearance of living P. berlepschi (A–D) as compared to living P. carolae (E–H). Notable characters that differentiate P. berlepschi from P. carolae include the all-black loral feathering on the frontal crest of P. berlepschi (A–C) versus the extensively white-tipped loral feathering of P. carolae (E–H); the eye-to-crown "tiara" of P. berlepschi (B, C) versus the more extensive coppery facial markings in front of and surrounding the eye of P. carolae; the darker malar, cheek and throat of P. berlepschi (A, B) versus the much lighter straw colored appearance of P. carolae (F); the almost nonexistent coppery-bronze hind crown patch of P. berlepschi (C) versus the extensive one visible at all times on the crown of P. carolae (G); the grey-blue eye color of P. berlepschi (A, B) versus the bright lemon yellow of P. carolae (E, F) and the rich bronzy sheen on the nape and upper mantle of P. berlepschi (D) compared to the black nape of P. carolae (H).
