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.

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.
