These nice colored birds are very hard to find in the Fraser's Hill especially the green colored females which camouflage well with the tree leaves. The males are more colorful than the females with bright sage-green above and subtle orange below, black sides to face and throat. There is also purplish black patch along the wings. The male ones can be mistaken as the Olive-backed Sunbirds to untrained eyes. I was lucky to come across these birds along the road while looking for other species.
