Golden-breasted Starling

Lamprotornis regius

The Golden-breasted Starling combines metallic green and violet-blue upperparts with golden-yellow underparts; adult males and females have similar plumage. Glossy blue-violet feathers cover the wings and long, graduated tail, while the breast and belly are golden yellow and largely unmarked. A violet-blue throat forms a distinct patch between the metallic green head and the yellow breast.
