Red-chinned Lorikeet Vini rubrigularis

An entirely green lorikeet with a small red patch on the chin, bordered with yellow. In flight, shows a green underwing with a yellow horizontal streak. Generally occurs in montane forest above 500 meters of elevation, most common above 1000 meters of elevation. Usually seen in flight. Similar Red-flanked Lorikeet differs in diagnostic bright red underwing with male having more red in the chin and a blue cheek, and female having a dark-streaked yellow cheek. Red-chinned is bigger and longer-tailed than pygmy- or hanging-parrots. Call is a high-pitched “pseet.”
