Green-crowned Brilliant

The Green-crowned Brilliant is a fairly large hummingbird, sleek and long-tailed with straight bill. The male is entirely emerald green with small blue throat patch only visible at some angles as seen here.


The female has spotted green breast with a conspicuous white mustache stripe and white spot behind eye as seen here.



The juvenile has pale rufous malars and chin as seen below.


They are found in forested habitats and edges.
