now sometime you must explain what this 'eclipse'you mention is all about
oh i just found this

Red-legged Honeycreeper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thanks Saroj! Yes, they are the only bird I know that does this, except maybe something like ptarmigans that change color for the season. Male Red Legged Honeycreepers begin to molt. They lose all the blue and turquoise feathers, and change their color to a mottled black and emerald green. As they start to change back, blue dots them..like you see in him now. Then they become blue again, for the remainder of the year.
Here are side by side pics of Mr. Jeepers now, and in full color.
