A crimson sunbird photographed by @atishbanerjeenikon from Instagram. It is perched on a part of a flower. The crimson sunbird has a bill that gently tapers to a small hook shaped. The feathers on its head and part of its torso are a firetruck red color, while its wings and the back end of its torso are a grayish-brown.
A photograph of a crimson sunbird taken by @gallop_photo on Instagram. It was rehosted by @ip_birds, who apparently put a watermark on it. In the photo, the crimson sunbird is perched on the stem of a plant with fuchsia flowers. The sunbird is looking over its shoulder towards the left side of the picture. True to its name, it has crimson feathers on its head and the top section of its torso. It has shiny black feathers on its brow between its eyes down to the tip of its beak. Under its beak is a v-shape of black feathers, like a mustache. The wings, tails, and lower part of its torso are a grayish brown color.
Two photos of male crimson sunbirds (Aethopyga siparaja). They are nectarivorous birds that can be found in South Asia and Southeast Asia. It is the unofficial national bird of Singapore.
