It has some blue on its face on a black and indigo head, a faint green nape, a light green collar, red breast, sometimes with slight dark feather edges or shadows, green stomach and thighs. Deplanche's is similar in appearance to the Green-naped Lorikeet, but is a little darker (especially the head), has less dark edging to the breast feathers and has a less-mottled underside.
