Golden-breasted Fruiteater
Pipreola aureopectus
The golden-breasted fruiteater is 16.5 to 17.5 cm (6.5 to 6.9 in) long; three individuals weighed 46 to 50 g (1.6 to 1.8 oz). The sexes have very different plumage. Adult males of the nominate subspecies have dusky lores and chin on an otherwise grass-green head. Their upperparts and tail are also grass-green. Their wings have small white tips on the tertials. Their throat and the middle of their breast are bright yellow. Their lower breast is lemon-yellow that blends to green on the sides and flanks. Adult nominate females have the same head, upperparts, tail, and wings as males. Voice: The golden-breasted fruiteater's song lasts about three seconds. It is "a high, sibiliant pseEEEeeeeeeeeaaaeeeEET tic! tic!" that rises quickly, slowly descends, and ascends at the end. It sometimes makes a shorter version, "seeeeeEEE!".

Orange-breasted Fruiteater
Pipreola jucunda
The male orange-breasted fruiteater has a glossy black head and throat and green upper parts. The breast is bright orange and the belly yellow with green mottling at the side. The female is similar in appearance to the female masked fruiteater with green upper parts and green and yellow streaked underparts. Both sexes have yellow eyes, orange bill and greyish-green legs. This bird grows to a length of about 18 centimetres (7 in). The song is similar to that of the black-chested fruiteater, a high-pitched ascending "pseeeeeweet".
