A stunning male Resplendent Quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno) displays its magnificent iridescent plumage while perched on a lichen-covered branch. The bird's distinctive features include its brilliant emerald-green body, blue-tinted wing coverts, and dramatically long tail feathers that create an elegant silhouette. The quetzal's characteristic green crest and small yellow beak are clearly visible against the soft, bokeh-rich background. The natural setting shows delicate white moss and small leaves, typical of its cloud forest habitat, creating a perfect natural composition that emphasizes the bird's remarkable beauty.
