Two of the three subspecies are shown here: the nominate species (L. h. hypoinochrous) native to Papua New Guinea in the last photo and L. h. devittatus, also known as the Ferguson Island or Bismark's Purple-bellied Lory, native to southeastern New Guinea in the first eleven photos. The difference in plumage between these is not noticeable in the photos since it occurs under the wings.
