Marvelous Spatuletail
Loddigesia mirabilis
Marvelous Spatuletail adult males have bronzy-green upperparts, an iridescent blue crown, and white underparts marked by a black central stripe. The wings are dusky, while the tail consists of just four feathers, its greatly elongated outer pair bearing largely bare shafts that end in broad, violet-blue spatules. An iridescent turquoise-green throat patch forms a sharply contrasting bib above the white breast.
