Green Woodhoope in Namibia (1 Viewer)

[Jacob12]

I realize distinguishing Violet/Green Woodhoopes is nobody's favorite thing to do...Buuut here are some photos from Waterberg NP in Namibia. All photos are from the same unit of four birds.

They look good for Green to me, but would love some confirmations as I've never seen Violet and am unsure how their iridescence looks in real life.

All have a green & blue sheen especially on the neck, so all Green for me.

I didnt see Violet at Waterberg, only Green, but I see there are some records.

Same impression here, and I only saw (what I figured were) Green at Waterburgh too. And I agree with it not being everyone's favourite thing to do!
