Loveridge’s Sunbird is restricted to the mountains of Tanzania. Males have a golden-green head, a narrow violet breast band, and an orange-red breast; they visit flowers in montane forest.
The male has an iridescent green head with a golden sheen, a thin violet breast band, orange-red below it, and yellow-olive flanks. The female is greenish-olive above, greyer on the head and throat, and yellower below.
It inhabits montane forest at about 1,200–2,560 m, taking nectar and small insects. It may gather at flowering trees and can also be seen alone, in pairs, or in mixed flocks.
