Violet-tailed Sylph
Aglaiocercus coelestis
Violet-tailed Sylph adult males have predominantly iridescent green plumage, dark wings, and an exceptionally long violet-blue tail. Green feathers cover the back and breast, contrasting with the dusky flight feathers; the deeply forked tail has narrow outer feathers extending far beyond its central feathers. A small patch of iridescent violet-blue throat feathers provides a distinct color contrast beneath the green head.
