ID tip

The average size of green warbler-finches is 10 cm (3.9 in), and their weight can range from 8 to 10 grams (0.28 to 0.35 oz). Green warbler-finches have a greenish coloration to blend into their lusher semi-humid forest habitats, as well as distinctive reddish throat patches on breeding males. The upper half of the adult male is typically more sandy-brown, which differs from the female, as they have a more olive-brown upper half.
