The guide books show these birds to be green, but because of iridescence, the male can appear almost blue in the sun, more greenish in the shade.

Beautiful bird. I would clone out the vertical twig below the perch

Honeycreepers are such cool birds. My only nit is the shiny spots on either side of the bird. Was this shot through glass?
