Description
The Red-legged Honeycreeper is a small relative of the tanagers that is very common in Central and northern South America from Mexico south to Brazil. The species has a catholic diet and will feed on fruit, insects, and even nectar in a variety of forest habitats. The male is a brilliant blue with a turquoise head, black bill and eye mask, black wings, back, and tail, and the eponymous red legs; however, after breeding, males have a molt that produces a dull eclipse-type plumage, which is atypical of Neotropical passerines. Females are pale green throughout with dull legs.
