Purple Sunbird
Cinnyris asiaticusThe Purple Sunbird (Cinnyris asiaticus) is a small sunbird. Like other sunbirds they feed mainly on nectar, although they will also take insects, especially when feeding young.

The males appear all black except in some lighting when the purple iridescence becomes visible. Females are olive above and yellowish below. Female Sunbird on Nectar Hunt, from Attappadi, Kerala

The male is glossy metallic purplish black on the upper parts with the wings appearing dark brown. The breeding male has the underparts also of the same purplish black, but non-breeding males may show a central streak of black on yellow underparts.
