The forewings are dark violet grey with a fine yellowish supramedian line from the base to one-fourth, and two slight yellow marks between the apex of this and the costa. There is a moderate blackish fascia before the middle not reaching the dorsum. There is a coppery-brown-reddish patch occupying nearly all of the apical half of the wing, edged anteriorly with ochreous whitish towards the costa. The hindwings are dark fuscous.
|
|
The wingspan is about 18 mm. The forewings are ferruginous with a deep yellow blotch occupying the basal two-fifths, except the costal third, its outer edge convex and extended to the costa as a slender streak, a light ferruginous line crosses this blotch at one-fourth of the wing, terminating in its dorsal angle. There is a short oblique white strigula on the costa at three-fourths. The hindwings are coppery fulvous.

The hardiest of Enkianthus species is E. campanulatus (furin-tsutsuji or redvein enkianthus), a medium-sized, narrow, upright, deciduous shrub. Its bright green glossy foliage gives brilliant coppery to red fall colors. In spring it offers a profusion of bell-shaped (campanula, "little bell"), creamy white flowers with red veins, similar to those of the distantly related Pieris. The plant was brought to England by Charles Maries, who was plant- hunting in Japan at the time for Veitch Nurseries.

Vathris is a hero-deity of anguish, lost causes, and revenge worshiped by some few in the Bright Desert. His symbol is a black spear. Originally, Vathris appeared as a shirtless Flan man with coppery skin, approximately nine feet tall, wearing beads of metal and clay in his long black hair. Today he is much diminished from his previous form, with a grisly torso wound that still oozes black bile, wielding the onyx longspear that killed him.

Well-marked specimens often have noticeably dark forewings, with a blackish basal area and a coppery brown, rather than whitish, subterminal band. However, melanism is very common in this species and all-dark specimens constitute 100% of the population in some areas. O. latruncula flies at night from May to August and is attracted to light and sugar. The larva feeds internally on the stems of various grasses including Calamagrostis and Dactylis, pupating in a cocoon among the roots.

Illustration of O. festivum and other exotic insects, by Dru Drury in 1782 Oxysternon festivum has a colored dorsum and black head and underside, the pronotum is smooth. As most Oxysternon species, it has considerable variation in color, ranging from the typical coppery-red to entirely black, and including yellow-red and green forms. The black form is apparently restricted to the Island of Trinidad and thus considered as a separate subspecies (O. festivum nigerrimum Arnaud, 2002).

The coppery-tailed coucal is territorial throughout the year and is mostly active soon after dawn and in the evening. It forages on land and feeds on amphibians, fish, small birds, reptiles and rodents as well as such invertebrate prey as grasshoppers, crabs and snails. It scavenges for dead fish and other edible matter and eats some green plant food. It tears open the nests of weaver birds (Ploceus spp.) and sometimes swallows blue quail (Coturnix adansonii) whole.

Territory is very valuable to russet-crowned motmots because of the lack of suitable nesting areas. As a result, Russet- crowned motmots they are very territorial. However, Richard E. Tashian reported seeing russet-crowned motmots in flocks of birds including golden- fronted woodpeckers, white-throated Magpie-jay, coloured thrush, streak-backed oriole and coppery-tailed trogon in Guatemala. This suggests that russet- crowned motmots defend their territories only against individuals of their species which is called infraspecific territoriality.

Tungsten bonds to the glass via the intermediate layer of tungsten(VI) oxide. A properly formed bond has characteristic coppery/orange/brown-yellow color in lithium-free glasses; in lithium- containing glasses the bond is blue due to formation of lithium tungstate. Due to its low thermal expansion coefficient, matched to glass, tungsten is frequently used for glass-metal bonds. Tungsten forms satisfying bonds with glasses with similar thermal expansion coefficient such as high-borosilicate glass.

A Quarter Horse registered as "sorrel" Sorrel is a reddish coat color in a horse lacking any black. It is a term that is usually synonymous with chestnut and one of the most common coat colors in horses. Some regions and breed registries distinguish it from chestnut, defining sorrel as a light, coppery shade, and chestnut as a browner shade. However, in terms of equine coat color genetics there is no known difference between sorrel and chestnut.

It has a globose bulb with a tunic typically brittle and coppery-brown. In common with other Brunsvigia species, plants will not flower if repeatedly disturbed by replanting. The flowers are especially fragrant at night, during which period they are pollinated by sphingid and noctuid moths. In common with other members of the family, this species forms large spherical fruiting heads which detach from the plant at maturity and efficiently disperse seeds while being bowled along by the wind (see tumbleweed).

The female also displays her plumage to ward off female competition or signal danger to her young. Green peafowl differ from Indian peafowl in that the male has green and gold plumage and black wings with a sheen of blue. Unlike Indian peafowl, the green peahen is similar to the male, but has shorter upper tail coverts, a more coppery neck, and overall less iridescence. The Congo peacock male does not display his covert feathers, but uses his actual tail feathers during courtship displays.

The boots fitted him and he used them as he walked around the countryside of Chadds Ford recovering from a serious operation. Wyeth described the creation of this painting in a letter published in ARTnews in May 1952. Michael Ennis of Texas Monthly wrote in 1987: "In Trodden Weed (1951), a self-portrait from the knees down in which the artist donned Howard Pyle's wrinkled old boots, Andrew strides the coppery turf with an autobiographical symbolism that is as hackneyed as it is visually moribund".

The call of the green-breasted mango is a high-pitched ', and the song is a buzzing '. This species is very similar to the closely related black-throated mango. Although the male green-breasted mango has less extensive black on the underparts, this and other plumage differences are not always easy to confirm in the field because the birds appear all-black. The females of the two species can be almost inseparable, although green-breasted has more extensively coppery upperpart tones than its relative.

The Canadian entomologist C.H. Curran's 1945 book, Insects of the Pacific World, noted women from India and Sri Lanka, who kept 1 1/2 inch long, iridescent greenish coppery beetles of the species Chrysochroa ocellata as pets. These living jewels were worn on festive occasions, probably with a small chain attached to one leg anchored to the clothing to prevent escape. Afterwards, the insects were bathed, fed, and housed in decorative cages. Living jeweled beetles have also been worn and kept as pets in Mexico.

They are coppery-brown overall, with a dark brown lateral stripe on each side bounded by yellow lines. These stripes have yellow flecks and spots that turn blue as it matures. Juveniles are often confused with adult Gymnophthalmus pleii and Mabuya mabouya, two other lizard species present in the same habitat, because they are fast moving and of similar coloration and size. The latter two may be differentiated from juvenile Dominican ground lizards by their shinier skin and less differentiated, snake-like head and body.

|
The forewings are dark fuscous, with a bronzy-purplish tinge and a transverse orange streak at one-fourth, enlarged on the costa and extended along it to near the base. There is a transverse orange streak from the dorsum about the middle, reaching two-thirds of the way across the wing. The space between these two streaks is mixed with bright silvery metallic and there is an orange streak along the costa from the middle almost to the apex. The terminal area is tinged with coppery metallic.

Conformation judges require Tollers to be capable of tolling and physical faults that inhibit working ability are heavily penalized. They should be of moderate build — a lack of substance or a heavy build are penalized by judges because both detract from the breed standard and athleticism. The legs are sturdy and solid and they have webbed feet. Tollers can be any shade of red ranging from a golden red through dark coppery red with lighter featherings on the underside of the tail, pantaloons, and body.
|
|
The forewings are orange ferruginous, the apical two-fifths coppery blackish. The markings are bright metallic green blue, consisting of a streak along the anterior half of the costa and a streak along the submedian fold from the base to the middle of the wing. There is a rather narrow fascia separating the ferruginous and black portions, interrupted below the middle and not reaching the inner margin. There is also an irregular apical fascia, broken into spots on the lower part of the hindmargin.

Unlike their congener's bill, they have a pale, ivory-ish colored, downcurved bill. The ornaments present on the male are relatively extensive pectoral feathers in rows on the sides of the breast and belly. The pectoral feathers highest on the breast (on each side) are dark greyish with coppery red to reddish iridescent tips; the rest of the pectoral plumes on the sides have more of a greenish-copper iridescence to their tips. The female of this species is, for the most part, similar to the male.

The gilded sapphire (Hylocharis chrysura), also known as the gilded hummingbird, is a species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae. It is found in a wide range of open and semi-open habitats in southern Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay and northern Argentina. It is generally common, and therefore considered to be of least concern by BirdLife International and consequently the IUCN. It is overall greenish-golden with a coppery tail, whitish-buff underparts, a rufous chin, and a slightly decurved, black-tipped red bill.
|
|
Immature individuals of both sexes are duller counterparts of the female adults. Subadult males resemble the females but have adult male feathers mixed in with their other plumage, including a mixed green and black crown, and mixed green and silvery-grey feathering on the back and mantle. The black-capped tanager resembles the silver-backed tanager (Stilpnia viridicollis), which replaces it at the southern edge of its range. Females of the two species are especially alike, but those of the silver- backed tanager have a coppery, rather than a green, throat.

There is a rather oblique slightly curved ochreous-whitish streak from before the middle of the dorsum, attenuated upwards, reaching two-thirds across the wing. There is a transverse series of six short longitudinal ochreous-whitish lines on the veins about three- fourths, becoming longer downwards, and a seventh on the dorsum. A coppery- metallic transverse line is found from four-fifths of the costa to tornus, obtusely angulated above the middle, the extremities whitish. There is a fulvous streak just beyond this, sending a branch into the apical projection, the lower portion terminal.

From the Moon, a lunar eclipse would show a ring of reddish-orange light surrounding a silhouetted Earth in the lunar sky. The amount of refracted light depends on the amount of dust or clouds in the atmosphere; this also controls how much light is scattered. In general, the dustier the atmosphere, the more that other wavelengths of light will be removed (compared to red light), leaving the resulting light a deeper red color. This causes the resulting coppery-red hue of the Moon to vary from one eclipse to the next.

Alocasia cuprea is a species of plant in the genus Alocasia native to Borneo. This species derives its name, cuprea, from the unusual coppery appearance of the leaves, which are up to 24 inches long. This color is especially pronounced on juvenile leaves, and the back of the leaf is a deep purple, but there is also a greener leaf form of the plant. While rare in cultivation, A. cuprea has been known outside its native habitat since it was brought to Europe in the 1850s by Thomas Lobb for Veitch Nurseries.

As the mountains eroded away Balanced Rock remained. Copperas Rock has been stained a coppery-yellow color by ferrous sulfate that has leached from a small coal deposit. Ferrous sulfate is a leading cause of stream pollution in the streams of Pennsylvania, but the small amounts found in the Copperas Rock area are not enough to cause a significant problem in Great Trough Creek. A small cave found near Copperas Rock is thought to have been carved out by early settlers who used the ferrous sulfate mordant to set dyes to homespun fabrics.

Eucalyptus lesouefii is a mallet or tree that grows to a height of but does not form a lignotuber. It has rough, flaky or crumbly black bark for up to at the base, smooth brownish, grey or coppery bark above. The trunk is low in height, often thick, dividing to upward spreading branches that become slender and slightly spreading in habit. Young plants and coppice regrowth have stems that are more or less square in cross-section and initially glaucous, egg-shaped leaves long and wide with a petiole.

When Placido Domingo sang his first Otello in Paris, Chauvet was dressed and ready in case it was required he intervene. He was the only French tenor to have sung Aida in Verona, alternating the role of Radames with Carlo Bergonzi, in August 1971 during the centenary of the opera's creation. He was part of the revival of Meyerbeer's Le prophète with Marilyn Horne at the Metropolitan in 1977. Guy Chauvet distinguished himself above all by the power of his emission, the timbre remaining clear and coppery throughout the whole range.

Ruins of the Castell de Rubió In 1840, the old municipality of Maçana annexed Rubió to increase its population; the municipal limits remain unchanged from then on. Two theories exist about the origin of the toponym Rubió. One holds that it derives from rubeus (coppery), possibly alluding to the red colour of the land and the rocks of the mountain on which was built the Castell de Rubió. According to the second, Rubió derives from the Latin rufus (blond) through the name Rubione, a local landowner in the Roman Empire.

Eucalyptus behriana is a tree or a mallee that typically grows to a height of and forms a lignotuber. It has rough, fibrous, dark brown to black bark on the base of the trunk and smooth greyish, greenish or coppery bark on the upper trunk and branches. Leaves on young plants and on coppice regrowth are arranged alternately, egg-shaped, long, wide and have a petiole. The adult leaves are arranged alternately, broadly lance-shaped to egg-shaped, long, wide on a petiole long, and the same glossy green on both sides.

Like the common brushtail possum, coppery brushtails are nocturnal, and live in dens, which are usually tree hollows. At night, they still spend half of their time resting to conserve energy, and the other half in foraging. In feeding experiments, in selecting their food, these possums may tend to select a mix of plant materials with detoxification requirements that are correlated or independent, rather than contradictory, thus maximizing their ability to process harmful plant byproducts. Dominance among individuals tends to place females above males, and larger over smaller individuals.

Eucalyptus concinna is a mallee that typically grows to a height of or sometimes a tree to and forms a lignotuber. It has rough grey- brown, thick to flaky for the lower half of the trunk with pale grey or coppery smooth bark above. Young plants and coppice regrowth have stems that are square in cross section, and egg-shaped to broadly lance-shaped leaves that are long and wide. Adult leaves are glossy green and arranged alternately with a blade that is lance-shaped, long and wide on a petiole long.

After rolling is finished, the leaf particles are spread out on a table where they begin to oxidize in the ambient heat and humidity. Controlling the temperature, humidity, and the duration of oxidation requires a great deal of attention, and excessive deviation in the process can spoil the final product. As oxidization continues, the colour of the leaf changes from green to a bright coppery colour. Once oxidation is complete, the fermented leaf is inserted into a firing chamber to denature the enzyme, preventing further chemical reactions from taking place.

This alloy was probably derived from melted-down scrap brass with a low zinc content, with which some tin had been added to improve the quality of the casting. Some of the fragments show traces of a white metal coating, indicating that the visor would originally have been tinned to give the appearance of silver. The griffin was cast separately from a different alloy consisting of 68% copper, 4% zinc, 18% tin and 10% lead. The visor would originally have been a silver hue and the helmet would have had a coppery yellow appearance.

Retrieved July 7, 2017.Moth Photographers Group at Mississippi State University The wingspan is 12–13 mm. The forewings are blackish brown with white markings and with the basal and dorsal parts lighter brown with a strong coppery sheen. At the basal fourth is an outwardly oblique, white costal streak, which reaches beyond the fold, but not to the dorsal edge and at the apical third of the costa is an inwardly oblique white fascia of the same angle as, but in opposite direction from the first costal streak.
|
|
The forewings are pale ochreous, the costal half from the base to the posterior streaks are suffused with rather dark fuscous, darkest towards the base. There are two fine oblique whitish posteriorly black-edged streaks, the first meeting a very undefined erect line of pale bronzy-metallic and blackish scales from the dorsum before the tornal prominence, the second running into the apex. The tornal prominence beyond this line is suffused with coppery metallic on the margins. There is a black dot at the base of the excavation.

The plants are dioicous, small but medium-sized for a liverwort, from golden-green to golden, but more typically reddish-brown, or dilute purplish-red, or coppery red, resembling a dense fuzzy mat, occurring in small or large patches. Shoots are less than 1½ mm wide. Leaves are incubous (decurrent on the dorsal stem surface) and deeply bilobed, with each lobe divided 1-3 times, elongated, narrowly lanceolate, deeply divided. The lobe margins are entire, with 1 or 2 long, slender, cilia- like projections along the lobes margins and at lobe apices.

It is often loosely referred to as "marble", which is not strictly correct. Weathered Istrian limestone in Venice Venice, isolated in its lagoon, had no building stone at hand. The freshly quarried stone is salt-white or light yellowish, which weathers to a pale gray; the whiteness of Istrian stone contrasts well with coloured stones and brick. When Francesco, son of the architect Jacopo Sansovino, wrote Venetia citta nobilissima et singolare (1580) he emphasized the distinctive quality that Istrian stone and the coppery-red Verona brocatello limestone (so-called Veronese marble) lent to the city.

Eucalyptus leptophylla is a mallee that typically grows to a height of and forms a lignotuber. It has smooth, grey, to cream or coppery bark that is shed in short ribbons or long strips, sometimes persistent on the lower trunk. Young plants and coppice regrowth have sessile, oblong to lance-shaped leaves that are mostly arranged in opposite pairs, long and wide. Adult leaves are arranged alternately, the same glossy green on both sides, linear to narrow lance-shaped, oblong or curved, long and wide on a petiole long.

Hypertropha chlaenota is a species of moth of the family Depressariidae first described by Edward Meyrick in 1887. It is found in Australia, where it has been recorded from Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and South Australia. The wingspan is 20–23 mm. The forewings are rather dark shining fuscous, with coppery reflections and with a large whitish-ochreous basal patch, extending on the costa to the middle, on the inner margin to two-fifths, its outer edge nearly straight, on the costa marked with four direct cloudy blackish strigulae.

These small frogs are light-grey to dark-brown (sometimes coppery) in colour. The adult often has a thin pale line over its head and back, with two darker bands along either side. The belly is marbled (white and dark brown to black.) The female of the species is about 21 mm long. The male is considerably smaller and may be distinguished by a horny tip on its snout. The males have a short ‘ping’ call with up to 15 repeats in rapid succession, though single ‘pings’ may also be heard.
|
|
Body mostly brown or greyish- brown on the back and sides above the lateral line as well as over the top and sides of the head and snout, brown to tan on the lower sides and becoming light brown or cream on the belly. The sides are overlain with brown to almost black blotches or narrow to slightly chevron shaped bars. There is a faint midline band of gold flecks on the sides, the gill covers are translucent with a small golden patch. The iris is coppery and the fins are grey and translucent.

Eucalyptus myriadena is a mallee or tree that typically grows to a height of and forms a lignotuber. It has rough, flaky bark on about half the lower part of the trunk, smooth bronze-grey and coppery bark above. Adult leaves are arranged alternately, linear to narrow lance-shaped, the same shade of very glossy green on both sides, long and wide, tapering to a petiole long and with a finely pointed apex. The side-veins are usually visible but the other veins are usually obscured by many island oil glands.

Letitia's thorntail (Discosura letitiae), also known as the coppery thorntail, is a species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae. It is only known from two old male specimens from Bolivia (though localities for old skins often are unreliable, and it is possible they came from elsewhere). Consequently, its behavior and habitat are unknown, but likely similar to that of other thorntails. It has been suggested that it represented a hybrid or a variant of the racquet-tailed coquette, but a study has validated its status as a distinct species.

The male's head to mantle is a shiny iridescent light bluish-green to yellow-green, while the chin throat is more of a metallic turquoise to shiny green, depending on lighting. Beneath the throat is a coppery-red gorget that tappers as it moves up the side of the breast, all the way to the eyes. The rest of the underparts are an silky dark-green, except for the lower tail-coverts, which is more of a light brownish color. The upperparts, like the wings and back, are brown to darkish brown.
|
|
The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are shining, pale brassy greenish, becoming more coppery towards the costa and at the apex. A white streak coming from the base below the costa terminates in the fold at about one-fourth, and there is a white patch lying a little beyond it and reaching the costa before the middle, a similar white patch, bent inward from the costa before the apex and reverting to the dorsum is found at the end of the fold. The hindwings are dark reddish fuscous.

The call of the black-throated mango is a high-pitched tsiuck, and the song is a buzzing hsl-hsl-hsl-hsl-hsl-hsl-hsl. This species is very similar to the closely related green-breasted mango. Although the male black-throated mango has more extensive black on the underparts, this and other plumage differences are not always easy to confirm in the field because the birds appear all-black. The females of the two species can be almost inseparable, although the black-throated lacks the more extensively coppery upperpart of its relative.

Eucalyptus albopurpurea is a mallee that grows to a height of or sometimes a tree high and has a lignotuber. It has rough, loose, fibrous bark on the lower part of the trunk and smooth coppery to pinkish grey bark that is shed in strips higher up. The leaves on young plants and coppice regrowth are in opposite pairs, broadly lance-shaped to egg-shaped, long, wide and the same dull bluish green on both sides. The adult leaves are arranged alternately, lance-shaped, long and wide on a petiole long.

The male of Oedemera nobilis, as in most Oedemera species, possesses the hind femora very swollen, whereas in female the femora are thin; the elytra are strongly narrowed towards the apexes, not hiding the membranous hind wings. It is bright green, frequently with a golden or coppery shine; some individuals are blue or violaceous. It can only be confused with Oedemera flavipes (which does not live in the British Isles), from which it differs by its colour, as well as by the long white pubescence on the head, pronotum and hind tibiae of males.

Hibiscus 'Kopper King' is a cultivar of Hibiscus that has large, showy flowers and copper-colored lobed leaves. It was bred and selected for its aesthetic attributes as well as its cold hardiness to at least (USDA hardiness zone 4) by Jim, Bob, and Dave Fleming of Fleming's Flower Fields in Lincoln, Nebraska. 'Kopper King' is a compact perennial shrub, reaching tall with a spread. The leaves are coppery red to dark purple, with a lobed and toothed leaf shape that appears to be similar to some maples.

Acrodermatitis /ac·ro·der·ma·ti·tis/ is a childhood form of dermatitis selectively affecting the hands and feet and may be accompanied by mild symptoms of fever and malaise. It may also be associated with hepatitis B and other viral infections. The lesions appear as small coppery-red, flat-topped firm papules that appear in crops and sometimes in long linear strings, often symmetric. It is a diffuse chronic skin disease usually confined to the limbs, seen mainly in women in Northern, Central, and Eastern Europe, and characterized initially by an erythematous, oedematous, pruritic phase followed by sclerosis and atrophy.

Notable features in the male include a long, metallic green crest, coppery feathers on the back and neck, and a prominent white rump that is most visible when the bird is in flight. The tail feathers of the male are uniformly rufous, becoming darker towards the tips, whereas the lower tail coverts of females are white, barred with black and red. The female has a prominent white patch on the throat and a white strip on the tail. The first-year male and the juvenile resemble the female, but the first-year male is larger and the juvenile is less distinctly marked.

Cetonia aurata, called the rose chafer or the green rose chafer, is a beetle, long, that has a metallic structurally coloured green and a distinct V-shaped scutellum. The scutellum is the small V-shaped area between the wing cases; it may show several small, irregular, white lines and marks. The underside of the beetle has a coppery colour, and its upper side is sometimes bronze, copper, violet, blue/black, or grey. Cetonia aurata should not be confused with the North American rose chafer, Macrodactylus subspinosus, or with the rarely seen noble chafer, Gnorimus nobilis, which is very similar to the rose chafer.

The greater coucal or crow pheasant (Centropus sinensis), is a large non- parasitic member of the cuckoo order of birds, the Cuculiformes. A widespread resident in the Indian Subcontinent and Southeast Asia, it is divided into several subspecies, some being treated as full species. They are large, crow- like with a long tail and coppery brown wings and found in a wide range of habitats from jungle to cultivation and urban gardens. They are weak fliers, and are often seen clambering about in vegetation or walking on the ground as they forage for insects, eggs and nestlings of other birds.

The vocal slits which hide the vocal sac inside the throat are small and bilateral, the sac has a single lobe, and is large, heavily pigmented with a greenish cast, and when calling inflates fully to a round shape. The eyes are large with a coppery bronze iris and a black pupil, the top half of the iris lighter than the bottom half, with a thin, dark line separating the two halves. The tongue is long and thin. The paratoid glands are small, smaller than the upper eyelid, and triangular in shape, and the toad has a small tympanum.

The forewings are pale ochreous suffusedly irrorated (sprinkled) with light fuscous. The first discal and plical stigmata are indicated by small cloudy fuscous spots, the plical obliquely posterior. There is a fine obtusely angulated grey-whitish line from two-thirds of the costa to the dorsum before the tornal prominence, becoming white on the costa, marked just beneath the angle with a blackish dot, and with a minute black dot on the lower extremity. The tornal prominence is tinged with shining purplish, becoming coppery metallic on the upper margin, with a deep bluish longitudinal mark on the tornal margin edged above with ochreous.

Occasionally, a so-called "graft hybrid" or more accurately graft chimera can occur where the tissues of the stock continue to grow within the scion. Such a plant can produce flowers and foliage typical of both plants as well as shoots intermediate between the two. The best-known example this is probably +Laburnocytisus 'Adamii', a graft hybrid between Laburnum and Cytisus, which originated in a nursery near Paris, France, in 1825. This small tree bears yellow flowers typical of Laburnum anagyroides, purple flowers typical of Cytisus purpureus and curious coppery-pink flowers that show characteristics of both "parents".

Armstrong's suicide in 1954 further adversely affected FM since he had financially supported Continental, one of the few FM networks at the time. alt=A small rectangular brown box with a metallic coppery top on a beige carpet. On its front are two dials and a tuner with a range between 88 and 108 FM's fortunes began to turn in the late 1950s with television's rapid growth and AM radio's increasingly crowded dial. Popular music formats replaced scripted radio programming and variety shows migrated to TV. This left broadcasters looking for new directions to expand their markets.

Slowworms are typically grey-brown, with the females having a coppery sheen and two lateral black stripes, and the males displaying electric blue spots, particularly in the breeding season. They give birth to live young, which are about long at birth and generally have golden stripes. Slowworms are slow-moving and can be easily caught, which has given rise to the folk etymology that the "slow" in slowworm is the same as the English adjective slow; the actual origin is a proto-Germanic root which simply means "slowworm". Like many lizards, slowworms can shed their tails to distract predators.

Eucalyptus cuprea was first formally described in 1993 by Ian Brooker and Stephen Hopper from a specimen collected by Brooker north of the Murchison River in 1984. The specific epithet (cuprea) is a Latin word meaning "coppery" in reference to the seasonal colour of the smooth bark. Eucalyptus cuprea belongs in Eucalyptus subgenus Symphyomyrtus section Adnataria (also known as the boxes). Within the Adnataria section, E. cuprea is part of a subgroup, series Buxeales which are all found in south-eastern Australia, with only three occurring in Western Australia, those being E.cuprea , E. absita and E. lucasii.

Eucalyptus trivalva is a mallee or a tree that typically grows to a height of and forms a lignotuber. It has loose, rough, fibrous, grey to dark grey-brown bark on some or all of the lower stems, smooth coppery to grey or cream-coloured bark above and yellowish branchlets. Young plants and coppice regrowth have leaves that are dull bluish grey to glaucous, egg-shaped, long and wide. Adult leaves are the same shade of dull greyish to bluish green on both sides, lance-shaped to elliptical, long and wide, tapering to a petiole long.

The elegant trogon (Trogon elegans) (formerly the "coppery-tailed" trogon) is a near passerine bird in the trogon family. Along with the eared quetzal, it is the most poleward-occurring species of trogon in the world, ranging from Guatemala in the south as far north as the upper Gila River in Arizona and New Mexico. The most northerly populations of subspecies ambiguus are partially migratory,Elegant Trogon at Encyclopedia of Life and the species is occasionally found as a vagrant in southeasternmost and western Texas. It is a resident of the lower levels of semi-arid open woodlands and forests.

The wingspan is 10–11 mm. The forewings are black with metallic-green blotches on the dorsum about one-fourth and the middle, narrowed upwards and reaching small violet-white marks on the costa. An orange blotch occupies the costal half from the middle to near the apex, connected by a bar with the dorsum at two-thirds, enclosing blue-metallic longitudinal marks beneath the costa at the anterior angle, and in the disc obliquely beyond and beneath this, and with a violet-white dot preceding it in the middle. There is a rounded purple-coppery blotch extending over the termen and tornus.

Many compounds with luster and electrical conductivity maintain a simple stoichiometric formula; such as the golden TiO, blue-black RuO2 or coppery ReO3, all of obvious oxidation state. Ultimately, however, the assignment of the free metallic electrons to one of the bonded atoms has its limits and leads to unusual oxidation states. Simple examples are the LiPb and Cu3Au ordered alloys, the composition and structure of which are largely determined by atomic size and packing factors. Should oxidation state be needed for redox balancing, it is best set to 0 for all atoms of such an alloy.

Leucospermum catherinae is a large evergreen, upright shrub of up to 4 m (13 ft) high from the family Proteaceae. It has hairless, inverted lance-shaped 9–13 cm long and 1–2½ cm wide leaves with a distinct stalk and three or four deep and blunt teeth toward the tip. The flower heads become disc-shaped with age, about 15 cm (6 in) in diameter, consisting of pale orange flowers. From the center of each flower emerges a long initially orange, later coppery bronze style with a thickened magenta tip that is bent clockwise, giving the entire head the appearance of a whirling pincushion.

The composition's compact organisation intensifies the frontal dialogue between the protagonists, who bear a certain family resemblance to the kin of Jean-le- Boiteux, a peasant from Plougasnou (Finistère) portrayed by Jean-François Raffaëlli in 1876. The coppery skin tones and broad brushstrokes that convey the humble condition of Sollier's Aïeux are close to the manner of his contemporary Lucien Simon. Simon's work focused on the Bigouden area of Brittany and showed a strong ethnographic content, as in Procession à Penmar’ch. Taking up the mantle of Courbet’s realism, Lucien Simon and his fellow artists popularised Breton subjects in Paris at the turn of the century.

Prunus himalaica is a small deciduous tree or shrub reaching a height of at most 5.5m. The smooth bark is a shiny brown, with prominent horizontal lenticels, similar to the coppery-red bark of the Tibetan cherry, Prunus serrula, and similar to but darker than the brown bark of Prunus rufa. Its younger branches are more purple in color, with brownish-red pubescent coats. The leaves are 4 to 5cm wide and 6 to 8cm long, elliptic in shape, with their upper surfaces bright green and with some minute hairs, while the undersides are pale green with abundant brown hairs on the veins, including the 9 to 13 secondary veins.

But though the performances here take a bit more patience to appreciate, they're no less rewarding; if anything, Moyet's interpretive gifts have grown, and Jimmy Iovine's understated production takes pains not to get in the way. Which is why the likes of "Sleep Like Breathing" or "Weak in the Presence of Beauty" hold such lasting allure." Jonathan Butler of People said: "Moyet's solo career has been like one of those baffling marriages in which you adore the wife but can't figure out what she sees in her oafish husband. It's hard to resist the British singer, who has a captivating voice, gracious, full-bodied and colored with a coppery glow.

The forewings are blackish with the basal two-fifths suffused with dark blue except on the costa and with an incomplete narrowly transverse-oval whitish ring before the middle from beneath the costa to below the fold. There is a narrow shining indigo-blue postmedian fascia not quite reaching the margins, expanded posteriorly towards the dorsum, and an oval blotch in the disc at three-fourths not reaching the margins. A triangular whitish spot is found on the costa at four-fifths, followed by a small blackish spot. The apical fifth of the wing beyond these markmgs forms a coppery-red blotch with violet gloss.

Adults are leaden grey with a slight coppery tinge, the forewings with a dark ferruginous basal patch in and below the cell extending along the median nervure to the anal angle of the cell. There are two minute white specks on the discocellulars and the apex is orange with a black spot. There is an oblique line from below the apex to the middle of the inner margin and a dark ferruginous marginal band transversed by a fine white curved submarginal line and a fine orange marginal line. The hindwings have ferruginous medial and marginal bands, the latter transversed by fine pale submarginal and marginal lines.

Amblysomus is part of the family of golden moles, Chrysochloridae. The order of golden moles and tenrecs, Afrosoricida, is part of Afrotheria, one of the four main divisions of placental mammals, along with elephant shrews, aardvarks, hyraxes, sirenians and elephants. Golden moles are not all golden. Some have black to pale tawny-yellow fur.; the name and family name “Chrysochloridae” (meaning green-gold), refers to the coppery gold, green, purple or bronze sheen of their dense fur. They all have differences in size and color, but have a similar appearance” with compact fusiform or lozenge- shaped bodies, short and powerful forelimbs containing pick-like claws, and no external eyes, ears or tail”.

A fully mature British Blue male, showing the characteristic heavy jowls and unique "crisp" texture of the coat The British Shorthair is a relatively powerful- looking large cat, having a broad chest, strong thick-set legs with rounded paws and a medium-length, blunt-tipped tail. The head is relatively large and rounded, with a short muzzle, broad cheeks (most noticeable in mature males, who tend to develop prominent jowls) and large round eyes that are deep coppery orange in the British Blue and otherwise vary in colour depending on the coat. Their large ears are broad and widely set. The British Blue variant can often be confused with the grey Scottish Fold.

This beetle is characterised by very long antennae (like all other cerambycidsA review of the chemical ecology of the Cerambycidae (Coleoptera), Jeremy D. Allison, John H. Borden and Steven J. Seybold, Chemoecology, 14, pp 123–150 (2004)) and a somewhat coppery or greenish metallic tint. The typical form, characterised by a pronotum with a metallic color, is widespread in Europe, except for most of Spain and Southern Italy. In such regions, in North Africa, and in Asia to Japan, the species is represented by some subspecies characterised by a more or less red pronotum. The antennae are longer than the entire head and body length in male and as long as body in females.

This fish is coppery-coloured with a broad blackish bar at the base of the tail, up to 14.5 cm in length. The upper jaw has a narrow blue streak, and a broad blackish stripe extends from the front of the snout to the eye. Easily confused with Ostorhinchus fleurieu,Lieske, E. and Myers, R.F. (2004) Coral reef guide; Red Sea London, HarperCollins where the black tail bar does not narrow in the centre, but unlike this species, the stripe is also present in juveniles. Internally, O. aureus is one of a large group of nocturnal feeding fishes which has a black pigmented gut lining, apparently to hide the glow of bioluminescent prey from its own piscivores in turn.

Most of the tree's branches resemble the laburnum in their foliage, which has three leaflets (3-palmate) and 3–6 cm long, yet also with dense clusters of broom-like shoots, also with three leaflets, but only 1 cm long and a darker green. It flowers in late spring or early summer; some branches have long (20–30 cm) racemes of yellow laburnum flowers, while others produce dense clusters of purple broom flowers. Remarkably, most branches will also produce coppery-pink flowers on short (8–15 cm) racemes, which are midway between the two "parents"; the leaves on these shoots are also intermediate. In older specimens, the proportion of broom and mixed tissues tends to decline, and the laburnum to predominate.

In a story recounted from Hone Te Paina of Oraka, Foveaux Strait; on the Tākitimu Mountains there haunts a woman patupaiarehe named Kaiheraki, who appears as a spectrelike giantess striding along the mountaintops on misty days. Kaiheraki's story begins with a mortal man named Hautapu who was a skilled hunter and tohunga. While out hunting with his dog (), Hautapu heard a 'sharp metallic noise' which sounded like two pieces of pounamu being hit together. At first he suspected it to be a takahē, but just as he was about to go and investigate, he noticed a pair of dark gleaming eyes against a pale-white face staring back at him from behind a bush, with just 'a glint of coppery hair'.

The title story, "Day Million", details the romantic affair between two people, referred to as Don and Dora (shortened versions of the names of both) in the millionth day CE, which falls late in the year 2737, although the author alternately describes it as being about a thousand years in the future. The text addresses the reader directly, subverting expectations by revealing that Dora is genetically male but was made female shortly after conception because genetic analysis showed that she would prefer that outcome. Don is described as handsome and bronzed, but is revealed to be a partial cyborg who wears a coppery radiation shield over his entire body, to protect him while helping to pilot a starship. Dora for her part is semi-aquatic, having gills.

The forewings are deep orange with a leaden-metallic streak edged beneath by a black streak extending along the costa almost from the base to two-fifths. From the extremity of this, two broad purple-blackish streaks run to beyond the middle of the dorsum and tornus respectively, confluent above but separated on the lower two-thirds by a curved streak of ground colour, an anterior streak marked with a silvery-metallic line. The basal area, as far as these, is marked above the middle with a black longitudinal streak, and on the dorsal half is irregularly mixed with blackish. Beyond these streaks, the dorsal two-thirds is somewhat mixed with dark purple fuscous and there is a coppery-purple-blue streak along the termen.

Forewings ovate-lanceolate, costa moderately arched, apex pointed, termen extremely obliquely rounded; violet-coppery-ochreous, in one specimen largely suffused with whitish; in one specimen a spot of dark purple-fuscous suffusion on dorsum towards base, one in disc beyond middle, and some irregular marking towards termen, and in the whitish-suffused specimen the dark purple-fuscous suffusion forms a blotch along anterior portion of costa connected with a large oblique blotch in middle of disc, a streak along dorsum from base to 2/3, a subterminal fascia enclosing a white spot on costa, and a mark along termen in middle, but in the other two specimens there are no markings: cilia golden-ochreous. Hindwings deep purple; cilia pale golden-ochreous.

The wingspan is 12–13 mm. The forewings are dark bronzy fuscous with an erect triangular light ochreous-yellow blotch from the dorsum before the middle, its apex rather bent over posteriorly. There are three bright coppery-blue-purple transverse lines reaching from the dorsum three-fourths across the wing, the first immediately beyond the yellow blotch, the second connected with a light yellow spot on the costa beyond the middle, the third limiting an oval bronzy patch strewn with minute longitudinal blackish and rosy-whitish strigulae extending along the termen nearly to the costa. There is a narrow black streak along the lower half of the termen containing three small round black spots set in whitish-ochreous rings becoming golden metallic on the terminal edge.

The forewings are brownish ochreous, thickly overlaid with minute steel-blue scales, giving an oily sheen to the wing-surface, especially along the margins. This steel-blue sheen becomes intensified gradually outwards, until it forms, in some lights, a clear steel-blue patch adjacent to the apex and termen, produced outward at the apex and tornus through the cilia and enclosing a semilunate terminal patch of bright yellow-ochreous, covering a small portion of the termen and including all the terminal cilia, except at the angles. A patch of bluish scaling at the end of the cell shows a tendency to divide into two spots, and is preceded by a similar patch at about one- third the length of the cell. The hindwings are shining, coppery yellowish.Biol. centr.-amer. Lep.

The Equatorial Region (EZ) is one of the most stable regions of the planet, in latitude and in activity. The northern edge of the EZ hosts spectacular plumes that trail southwest from the NEB, which are bounded by dark, warm (in infrared) features known as festoons (hot spots). Though the southern boundary of the EZ is usually quiescent, observations from the late 19th into the early 20th century show that this pattern was then reversed relative to today. The EZ varies considerably in coloration, from pale to an ochre, or even coppery hue; it is occasionally divided by an Equatorial Band (EB).Rogers (1995), pp. 133, 145–147. Features in the EZ move roughly 390 km/h relative to the other latitudes.Rogers (1995), p. 133.Beebe (1997), p. 24.

The forewings are black, but from the base to the middle except on the margins the wing is suffused with metallic blue on the costal half, metallic green on the dorsal half, with a small yellow subcostal spot near the base, and sometimes another at one-fourth. There is a yellow elongate blotch extending along the costa from the middle to three-fourths, enclosing a metallic-blue streak and there is also a small irregular yellow spot in the middle of the disc. A shining blue-purple trapezoidal blotch is found on the dorsum towards the tornus, reaching half across wing, the upper posterior angle acute, the upper anterior angle connected with a costal yellow blotch by a blue mark. The wing beyond these markings is wholly coppery-red.

The forewings are ochreous fuscous, with the discal stigmata blackish, the plical represented by an elongate cloudy darker fuscous spot beyond the first discal. There is an obtusely angulated pale bluish-grey dark- edged line from two-thirds of the costa to the dorsum before the tornal prominence, towards the costa becoming white and edged with blackish. There is a black dot following the angle of this line, edged beneath by a small spot of coppery-metallic suffusion, a blackish dot on the tornal margin beyond the line, and sometimes a small indistinct blackish dot between these. The apical prominence beyond the line is light ochreous yellowish, cut by an oblique whitish posteriorly blackish-edged line near and parallel to the preceding line, the blackish margin running into the apex.
|
|
The forewings are dark fuscous, with the bases of the scales pale greyish ochreous and two yellow semi-oval dorsal blotches reaching halfway across the wing, the first about one-third, the second on the tornal area. There is a fulvous-yellow line from three-fifths of the costa to the posterior extremity of the second blotch, right angled in the disc, edged with black posteriorly towards the extremities, followed by a leaden streak from the costa, black edged posteriorly towards the costa, expanded beneath into a coppery-tinged spot filling the tornal prominence and marked with a black dot at its apex. The apical prominence beyond this is ferruginous yellow, cut by a short oblique white line near its base, continued along the lower margin to the apex. The hindwings are light grey.

Breeding behavior is relatively vaguely known, though thanks to Tim Laman and Edwin Scholes' observations, their behavior better understood. During courtship displays, the males start with a series of short hops between branches, which is known as perch-hopping. Next, he does what is called flick-pivoting, where he repeatedly turns from side to side all while fluttering his wings and opening and closing the long tail; similar to the related Black sicklebill, Epimachus fastosus, their feet never leave their perch while displaying. Another display includes the inverted tail-fan involves the male fanning the long tail in various movements while hanging upside-down, while also pointing the glossy underparts upward and erecting their breast feathers into a black, circular shape with the iridescent coppery-orange gorget almost encircling the head.

The lobes in the middle part (or claws), where the perianth is split lengthwise, are thread- like, coil back strongly on their base when the flower opens, and are covered with long soft hairs on the outside. Those facing the sides and the center of the head thickened and fleshy near the base. The upper part, which enclosed the pollen presenter in the bud consists of four strongly recurved, pointy lance-shaped limbs of about 6 mm (0.24 in) long and 1½ mm (0.06 in), and covered with fine silky hair on the outside. From the perianth emerges a style, that is initially orange, but later turns coppery bronze in colour, 7–8 cm (2.8–3.2 in) long, tapering towards the tip, growing strongly shen the flower opens and bending outward, the higher third bent clockwise at about a right angle.

Adults have a glossy bluish-black iridescent head, neck, secondary flight feathers and tail; a coppery-brown crown; a bright white back and belly; bill black with a slightly concave upper edge; and bright red legs. The sexes are identical but the adult female has a yellow iris while the adult male has it brown. Juveniles younger than six months have a brownish iris; a distinctly smaller and straighter beak; a fluffy appearance; brown head, neck, upper back, wings and tail; a white belly; and dark legs. Juveniles older than six months have a mottled appearance especially on the head and neck where the iridescence is partly developed; dark-brown outer primaries; white inner primaries that forms a shoulder patch when the wings are closed; a heavy beak identical in size to adults but still straighter; and dark to pale-pink legs.

The slender tuna, Allothunnus fallai, is a species of tuna, the only species in the genus Allothunnus, found around the world in the southern oceans between latitudes 20° and 50° South, although there are two records of probable vagrants, one in Los Angeles Harbour and the other from the North Pacific subarctic gyre. It has a more elongated body than other species of tuna with which it is symaptric such as the albacore The colour is blue-black on the back with silvery greyish-white sides, however some individuals have a coppery sheen soon after capture. It has a small second dorsal and anal fins resembling a small albacore, but the slender tuna lacks the long sweeping pectoral fins characteristic of albacores. The pectoral fins and pelvic fins are purple on their distal portions and black near their bases.

Oedemera nobilis The larvae of most genera are xylophagous, boring tunnels in spongy, damp wood in an advanced state of decomposition; thus they have little economic importance, with the exception of one species, the "wharf borer" (Nacerdes melanura), that is ever known to attain pest status, as its larvae bore into wet wood in coastal areas; larvae can also bore into wood located in the tidal zone so at times are submerged by seawater, and can damage docks, wharves, and pilings. Larvae of the genera Oedemera and Stenostoma develop in dead stems of herbaceous plants. Adults contain the toxic cantharidin in their corporal fluids as a defensive mechanism; several species show brilliant and metallic blue, green, gold or coppery, often combined with yellow, orange or red, aposematic colourations. In temperate regions, adults are mainly polyphagous pollen and nectar-feeding, and diurnal in activity.

The forewings are grey, more or less diffused with slaty-grey (and in some specimens sparingly with red coppery tint), with white scales, and richly and variously marked with rich black bars and lines. There is a rich black band at the base, more or less constant and becoming more definite and constant along the inner margin to one-fourth, a rich band from the middle of the base obliquely toward the costa, thinning out or suffusing with another from one- fourth to before half. There is also a band transversely from three-fifths of the costa to within one-fourth of the inner margin opposite half. Halfway between this line and the base of the wing is an irregular more or less parallel line, in some specimens stopping short, in others running irregularly to the inner margin, and in others one or two other irregular lines still nearer the base of the wing.

The island was named by the second German North Polar Expedition 1869–70 as Clavering Insel to commemorate Douglas Charles Clavering (1794–1827), commander of the Griper on the 1823 voyage, which explored the area and, at the southern shore of this island made the first (and last) encounter that Europeans made with the now extinct Northeast-Greenland Inuit. In late August 1823, Clavering and the crew of the Griper encountered a band of twelve Inuit, including men, women and children. In his journal, Clavering described their seal-skin tent, canoe, and clothes, their harpoons and spear tipped with bone and meteoric iron, and their physical appearance ("tawny coppery" skin, "black hair and round visages; their hands and feet very fleshy, and much swelled"). He remarked on their skill in skinning a seal, the custom of sprinkling water over a seal or walrus before skinning, and their amazement at the demonstration of firearms for hunting.

The forewings are light greyish ochreous, the veins sometimes slightly tinged with fuscous and with a rather broad pale bronzy-fuscous streak along the costa from near the base to the middle, confluent beneath with an elongate suffused dark fuscous blotch in the disc from the base to one-fourth, and a subquadrate dark fuscous blotch centrally paler in the disc before the middle. There is a dark fuscous dot on the lower margin of the cell in the middle of the wing, and two others at the angles of the cell, as well as an indistinct paler obtusely angulated subterminal line, becoming grey whitish on the costa, adjoining the terminal excavation in the middle. A pale ochreous-yellowish line is found from the costa beyond this, running into the apical prominence and there is a coppery- metallic spot edged with green beneath, occupying the upper part of the tornal prominence, with a pale ochreous-yellowish streak beneath it. The hindwings are light bronzy grey.

A champion adult male showing the classic ruddy, or "usual", coat pattern The breed's original color standard is a warm deep reddish-brown base with black ticking, known as "usual" in the United Kingdom Tawny in Australia and as "ruddy" elsewhere. Sorrel (also called cinnamon or red), a lighter coppery base with chocolate brown ticking, is a unique mutation of this original pattern. Other variants have been introduced by outcrossing to the Burmese and other shorthaired breeds, notably blue (on a warm beige base) and fawn (on a softer creamy peach base). The less common chocolate and lilac are not recognized in the Cat Fancier's Association (CFA) breed standard but have been granted full champion status in The International Cat Association (TICA) and in the UK. The UK also recognizes the Silver Abyssinian, in which the base coat is a pure silvery white with black (called "usual silver"), blue, cream or sorrel ticking.

The wingspan is about 24 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous with the costa slenderly coppery-grey from near the base to near one-third, where it forms a short transverse mark. The costal edge beyond this is white and the plical stigma is minute and blackish, the second discal forming a blackish linear transverse mark, preceded by some whitish suffusion. There is a small greyish mark on the middle of the costa and a greyish streak from the second discal stigma to the costa rather beyond it, the apical area beyond this forming a large rounded white patch, including a rounded golden-fuscous blotch almost reaching the apical edge of which the anterior portion is produced into a blackish lobe, an incurved reddish-brown transverse streak between this and the discal mark, one or two blackish dashes crossing this towards the costa, its lower end bent out above the blackish lobe.

One wild male did this as he approached the tame estrus female, who was near a building, after this male had left the forest and while walking on the elevated poles which had been set up for monkey travel. Another foraging female marked herself in the presence of an observing human who was from her. Displays are similar to the coppery titi, which were first described by Moynihan (1966, 1967, 1976a). Some displays are listed here: (1) piloerection – agonistic; excited state when attacked or attacking; during danger; (2) arched-back – agonistic; before some attacks or when threatened; position held for several seconds; (3) tail twinning – when duetting or resting the pair often wind their tails around each other's tail; (4) tongue flicking – in two contexts; aggressive just before attack or as space reducer towards mate and probably just before copulation (hand-raised female at EBC tongue flicks at human "parent", especially at height of estrus cycle; (5) chest rubbing – using a wadded leaf the individual rubs from throat to chest after first wetting the leaf with saliva; performed in presence of human observer; nervousness.

The vast wetlands of Kasanka support some species not easily seen elsewhere such as rufous-bellied heron, lesser jacana and African pygmy goose. The shoebill was confirmed for the first time in 20 years at the end of 2010 and a breeding pair of wattled cranes and their offspring are often encountered. Marsh tchagra, coppery-tailed coucal, Fulleborn's longclaw, locustfinch, pale- crowned, croaking and short-winged cisticola, chestnut-headed and streaky- breasted flufftail, harlequin and blue quail, black-rumped buttonquail and fawn-breasted waxbill are amongst the other specials on the wetland fringes and in the large dambos. The Mushitu is host to a wide range of other species, the sought-after Narina trogon can often be heard and seen in the small patches of forest close to Pontoon and Fibwe. A range of other species occur such as blue-mantled crested flycatcher, Schalow’s turaco, brown-headed apalis, black-backed barbet, grey waxbill, Bocage's robin, West African (olive) thrush, dark-backed weaver, red-throated twinspot, green twinspot, red-backed mannikin, green-headed sunbird, yellow-rumped tinkerbird, scaly- throated honeyguide, pallid honeyguide, purple-throated cuckooshrike, black- throated wattle-eye, yellow-throated leaflove and little, grey-olive, yellow- bellied and Cabanis's greenbul.
