Peacock Coquette

Lophornis pavoninus

The Peacock Coquette adult male has bronze-green upperparts and an iridescent green throat, with a compact body and conspicuous ornamental neck plumage. Dark flight feathers contrast with the green back, while a pale band crosses the rump above the tail. Its defining feature is the elongated feathering along the sides of the neck, forming lateral fans that frame the throat.
