How to spot
Look for its overall shimmering green appearance, especially the iridescent belly. It's often seen darting quickly between flowers or perching on exposed branches in its habitat.

Active throughout the day, with heightened foraging activity in the early morning and late afternoon. It can be seen year-round within its tropical range.

The 'glistening-bellied' descriptor comes from the highly iridescent green feathers on its underside, which brilliantly catch and reflect light, creating a shimmering effect.
