Prigogine's sunbird

Cinnyris prigoginei

Prigogine's sunbird (Cinnyris prigoginei) is a small passerine bird found in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is characterized by its iridescent plumage, with the male displaying vibrant metallic green and blue colors on its head, back, and throat, while the female has more subdued colors. This species is known for its acrobatic flight and its long, slender, down-curved bill, which it uses to feed on nectar from flowers. Prigogine's sunbird is typically found in montane forests and forest edges, where it forages for insects and nectar. Despite its localized range, the population size and trend of this species are currently unknown.
