Ruby-cheeked Sunbird

The Ruby-cheeked (Chalcoparia singalensis) is a tiny sunbird with a short sharp bill. The male’s metallic green upperparts, wine-red cheeks, and bright orange throat and chest are unmistakable. The female is less distinctive, but note her size, bill shape, and bright orange throat. Found in forests, forest edges, and gardens from lowlands up into hilly areas, typically foraging actively in upper levels of trees.
