Green-tailed Sunbird
An endemic race of the Green-tailed Sunbird completely confined to the summit of Doi Inthanon.
The Green-tailed Sunbird’s species name is technically accurate, but the male’s bright greenish-blue head is much more noticeable than his tail. Also note his red upper back and bright yellow underparts. The female is olive-yellow with paler underparts and a greyish head. Note the lack of a strongly contrasting pale rump patch as compared to female Mrs. Gould’s Sunbird. The Green-tailed inhabits montane and hill forests and forest edge.
