green sunbird Anthreptes rectirostris

A very small sunbird with a short, slightly curved bill. Males are iridescent leaf green above with a red-and-black chest band and a buffy gray belly. The color of the throat varies geographically, being gray in some regions and yellow in others. Females are drab and warbler-like with an inconspicuous pale eyebrow. Found in rainforest, montane forest, and plantations, mostly in the canopy. Males are similar to Collared Sunbird, but can be separated by the gray or yellow rather than green chin, and by the red chest band. Females can be confused with Green Hylia, which is smaller with much less conspicuous pale markings on the face.
