Gouldian Finch

Gouldian Finch adult males display sharply defined blocks of grass-green upperparts, a purple breast, and a bright yellow belly. The wings and back are largely unmarked green, while the blue rump contrasts with a black tail bearing elongated central feathers. A narrow turquoise-blue band borders the rear of the head, whose facial feathers occur in black, red, or, less commonly, yellow-orange color morphs.
