Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Well-named: bill is long even for a spiderhunter. Olive-brown above and bright yellow below with faint streaking on the chest. Combination of large size, streaking, an all-dark bill, and yellow belly serve to separate this species from similar spiderhunters in the region. Forages actively in the upper levels of lowland and foothill rainforest. Gives moderately spaced and rather toneless chips.
