David's comment from the first image:
Chortophaga viridifasciata
Yes this is the species. They vary in color. You've managed to get a brown male (first shot), a brown female (second shot), green males (third and fourth shots - rather rare). That last shot could possibly be a female, but it is definitely shaped like a male. This is the fourth shot, probable green male.

I take it back
After looking at proportions of head and thorax, this appears to be a female.
