Frilled Coquette

Frilled Coquette adult males have predominantly bronze-green plumage, a glittering green throat, and a tall reddish-orange crest. A narrow white band crosses the rump above the rufous tail, while dark flight feathers contrast with the green back. The defining neck frill consists of elongated, pale feathers tipped with iridescent green spots, forming conspicuous fans on either side of the throat.
