Anthracothorax viridigula (Green-throated Mango)

Synonyms: Trochilus viridigula

Wikipedia Abstract

The green-throated mango (Anthracothorax viridigula) is a hummingbird that breeds from northeastern Venezuela, Trinidad and the Guianas south to northeasterm Brazil. In Brazil, the bird is only found on the narrow Atlantic coastal strip north and south of the Amazon River outlet, and a strip along the river proper, about 1500 km upstream. It is a local or seasonal migrant, although its movements are not well understood. This small bird inhabits mangrove swamp and moist lowland savannah. It is 10.2 cm long and weighs 9g. The longish black bill is slightly decurved.
