The Common iora

Cock: (a) In summer upper plumage, wings, and tail are black; lower parts bright yellow. There are two white bars in the wing. (b) In winter the black parts of the head and back are replaced by yellowish-green.
Hen: Upper parts, wings, and tail green; lower parts yellow. Two white bars in the wing.
