Resplendent
Quetzal Image by Zdeněk Macháček, 2019 |
||||||||||
| Although the resplendent quetzal shimmers in colour, the green and turquoise appearance comes from structural colouration within feather microstructures that affect how light is reflected and scattered, with pigments playing little to no role in producing that green tone. |
