Green Jay

Cyanocorax yncas

Green Jay adults of both sexes have bright green upperparts, yellow to yellow-green underparts, and a contrasting blue-and-black head. The back and folded wings are largely unmarked, while the long, graduated tail has green central feathers and yellow outer feathers. Blue crown feathers and blue cheek patches contrast with a black facial mask continuous with the black throat and upper-breast bib.
