Close-up of a Green-and black Fruiteater at Río Blanco Reserva Natural in Caldas, Colombia.

Chunky, short-tailed, flat-headed bird patterned in green and black. The Male has a black head and breast, a yellow belly with messy green streaks, and green upperparts. The Female is almost all green. On both sexes, note red bill and legs and dark eye. Fairly common in forested habitats in the subtropical and temperate zone. Perches quietly in the middle levels of the forest, often following a mixed-species flock. Usually in pairs, but several can gather around a fruiting tree.

ABOUT
DIRK BECKERS

Dirk Beckers is a hobby wildlife & nature photographer living in Antwerp (Belgium). Fujifilm is mostly the gear I prefer but sometimes Nikon has a place in my bag. Aside from some exposure, sharpening, noise reduction and basic colour corrections, I don’t spend much time post-processing my photos. I believe that good photographs are accomplished outdoors, in the field, and not in front of the computer. That’s the essence of my photography. For more about me click here.

BIRD
IDENTIFICATION

Please be aware that I’m not an expert in Ornithology. I’m using the Merlin app from The Cornell Lab for bird identification, but if you think that there are still some mistakes with the names of the birds, please feel free to contact me. I will be happy to make the necessary corrections!
