Violet-crowned Woodnymph

The male Violet-crowned Woodnymph displays brilliant iridescent violet-blue plumage across its crown, contrasting with a shimmering emerald-green throat and breast. Its wings and back feature deep metallic green, bronze, and dusky brown tones, while the underparts transition into rich violet-blue and the long, forked tail gleams with dark blue-black iridescence. A slender black bill and dark eyes complement the bird’s jewel-like coloration, which shifts subtly with the angle of light.
