Loten's Sunbird

Small, active bird, with a slender curved bill, well adapted for collecting nectar from flowers.

It is differs from the more common Purple Sunbird, chiefly in size (slightly bigger) and the maroon chest parts. Its abdomen parts are dark brown, whereas the purple sunbird is purple-blue. Another differentiating feature is its bill, which is longer than that of the Purple Sunbird.

Females of both species are pale yellow below and dull brown above.
