Chestnut-breasted Chlorophonia

Chlorophonia pyrrhophrys

Chestnut-breasted Chlorophonia adult males have predominantly green upperparts, a green throat, a broad chestnut breast band, and yellow lower underparts, creating sharply defined blocks of color. The back is essentially uniform green, while darker wing and tail feathers carry green edging; the chestnut breast is solid rather than spotted or streaked. A distinct blue nape patch contrasts with the surrounding green feathers.
