Rainbow Bee-eater

Rainbow Bee-eater adult males have predominantly green plumage accented by a bronze-gold crown, turquoise underparts, and a bright blue rump, giving them a distinctly multicolored appearance. The green back and breast are largely unmarked, while the wings carry rufous flight feathers with dark tips, and the tail bears two elongated, narrow central feathers. A broad black band borders the yellow throat below, sharply separating this bright feathered patch from the green breast.
