The Brown Violetear is the elusive cousin of the more common Green Violetear. It dwells mainly in the forest canopy. Both males and females display a subtle coloration, a bit brighter in the male, which is accented by the violet ear patch that occasionally flares out in an aggressive posture. They hawk for flies over clearings and over water.
They are about 4 1/2 inches longs and weigh about 2/10 of an ounce.
Prints have a one inch white border that includes the artist's signature and image number.
Mats are dark grey with a thin white reveal. They include the image number and artist's signature. Frames are mat black aluminum.
