Green Honeycreeper

Chlorophanes spiza

The Green Honeycreeper adult male has predominantly turquoise-green plumage, with a black head contrasting sharply against the brighter back, breast, and belly. Its wings and tail are darker, with blackish flight feathers edged in green, while the body plumage is largely uniform and lacks conspicuous barring or spotting. A sharply bounded black hood frames the reddish eye and contrasts with the gently curved yellow bill, which has a dark upper ridge.
