Golden-breasted Fruiteater

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!".
