I saw a beautiful one outside my window today - it had a black head, a splash of red at its back end, under its tail and the tail was only about 2 feathers (quite narrow). The tail feathers were really long. From the neck down it was brown, but it was like a gradient (dark brown at the top, light brown at the bottom).
