FIGBIRD: Sphecotheres viridis
-
The males in this species are a
spectacular sight; olive green upperparts, bright yellow breast,
and red
'spectacles'.
-
The tropical species tend to be brighter yellow, while the females
and juveniles, on the other hand, are a much duller brown, with streaky
underparts.
-
They are also a high canopy species but a little easier to see, and,
yes, they are often found in fig trees.
