Observation details
Perhaps not technically the best, but this flight shot shows the brilliant glittering colors on its crest when the light hits it just right. Usually the crest appears black. Of the four subspecies, those on the Grenadines are "O. c. emigrans" characterized by green crest tipped bright violet-blue. Note also the slightly paler throat on this adult male. Females lack the crest and are mostly white below. This unique species is the only member of its genus.
