| Tail pale clove-brown, the inner webs of the rectrices lemon-yellow, the outer edged with olive-yellow. |

| Many specimens show yellow remiges and rectrices, and are perhaps hybrids with the species auratus. |
| The excellent fossil remains of feathers from the several specimens of Archaeopteryx are remiges and rectrices. |
