Arabian Sunbird Cinnyris hellmayri

A medium-sized, long-billed sunbird in which males and females are very different. Males have a green head, a purple forehead, a red-and-yellow band across the chest, and a black belly. Females are plain, with olive-gray on the back and pale gray below. Found in dry thorn savanna, woodland, and gardens. Range does not overlap with any other species in which the males have a red belly band. Females can be identified by their darker underparts than other female sunbirds in the Arabian Peninsula. Vocalizations include chatters, trills, and a single “veet” note.
