They are mostly blue-green in color, although strongly they appear to be blue or green can change, depending uopn light conditions. Their diet consists almost entirely of arthropods and fruits. Metallic-green Tanagers are usually found in pairs or small groups and often join flocks consisting of multiple tanager species.
