Blue-crowned Chlorophonia

Chlorophonia occipitalis

The Blue-crowned Chlorophonia adult male has predominantly bright green plumage, contrasting with yellow lower underparts and a compact, short-tailed appearance. The back is largely unmarked, while darker wing and tail feathers have green edging; the green upper breast gives way to a yellow belly. A vivid blue crown extending onto the nape forms the defining head marking, contrasting sharply with the green face.
