Purple-rumped Sunbird
Leptocoma zeylonica
The Purple-rumped Sunbird adult male has dark maroon upperparts, an iridescent green crown, and mostly yellow underparts with whitish flanks. Dark brown wing and tail feathers contrast with the maroon back, while a maroon breast band separates the dark throat from the yellow belly. Its defining violet-purple rump patch has a metallic sheen and is often partly concealed beneath the folded wings.
