Northern Carmine Bee-eater

Northern Carmine Bee-eater adults of both sexes have predominantly carmine-red plumage, contrasting with a blue-green crown and throat. The back, breast, and wing coverts are largely unmarked carmine, while the flight feathers have dark tips and the tail bears elongated central feathers. A broad black stripe extends through each eye, sharply separating the blue-green feathers above and below it.
