Back, shoulder, saddle, breast, belly, thighs and flanks: feathers dark silvery-white with double green-glossy black lacing, the outer-lace running along the edge is broader than the inner-lace running parallel to it; the large feathers of the saddle and those of the lower breast also have a black stripe along the vein, which is also black at that location.
