Lampornis castaneoventris
This bird is 10.5 cm long. The shortish black bill is slightly curved. The adult male has bronze-green upperparts and underparts except for a brilliant green crown, white throat and blue tail. The female lacks the bright crown and throat, and has rich cinnamon underparts. Young birds resemble the female but have buff fringes to the upperparts plumage.
