Green Honeycreeper - male

Scientific name: Chlorophanes spiza
Order: Passeriformes
Family: Thraupidae

The Green Honeycreeper is found from southern Mexico to the Amazon Basin with a disjunct population in south east Brazil. It favours forest and secondary woodland, normally high in the canopy but it comes out in clearings and forest edges. Feeding mainly on fruit they also look for nectar from flowers and occasionally eat insects.
