Green Violetear

Green Violetear adult males have predominantly iridescent green plumage, with a bronzy green back and a blue-violet patch across the central underparts. Dark brown wings contrast with the green breast, while the slightly notched, blue-green tail carries a broad, dark subterminal band. Elongated violet-blue feathers behind each eye form conspicuous ear patches that can be raised outward from the sides of the head.
