Chrysuronia leucogaster (Plain-bellied Emerald)

Synonyms: Amazilia leucogaster; Trochilus leucogaster

Wikipedia Abstract

The plain-bellied emerald (Amazilia leucogaster) is a species of hummingbird in the Trochilidae family. It is found from north-eastern Venezuela, through the Guianas, to around São Luís in Brazil. Smaller disjunct populations are found in north-eastern Brazil as far south as Bahia. It occurs in a wide range of semi-open habitats, primarily in coastal regions. It is generally fairly common, and therefore considered to be of least concern by BirdLife International and consequently the IUCN.
