For instance, in summer the lesser coucal, which can often be seen in Taiwan, is brownish black all over its body, but its wings are chestnut red, as if it were wearing a brightly colored shawl. Bird painter Ho Hua-jen describes it as having "chestnut wings with a metallic sheen." This cuckoo, at least, is not so bad looking after all.
例如台灣普遍可見的番鵑，夏季全身褐黑，兩翼慄紅，如肩披鮮豔圍巾，以鳥為題材的畫家何華仁形容它「慄色的翼部泛出金屬光澤」，「姿色」看來不算太差。
