Hedydipna

H. collaris H. platura H. metallica H. pallidigaster Anthodiaeta Hedydipna is a genus of sunbirds.

It contains the following species,[2] which are sometimes included in genus Anthreptes.

The name Hedydipna comes from the Greek hēdudeipnos, meaning "dainty-supping" or "sweet-eating" — a reference to the nectar sipping habits of these species.

[3] These sunbirds are largely restricted to Africa and western islands in the Indian Ocean, though the Nile Valley sunbird is found as far east as Yemen.
