🌎 Coppery-headed Emerald (Microchera cupreiceps) 

The Coppery-headed Emerald is a tiny hummingbird, with males having a bright metallic-green body, a distinctive coppery-bronze crown and rump, and white outer tail feathers. Females are more subdued with a white belly. It is endemic to the highlands of Costa Rica, where it is found in the edges and interior of montane forests. They feed on nectar from small flowers and are often seen foraging alone, though males may gather for display. 2.5 Flash (Edited)

🌎 White-throated hummingbird (Leucochloris albicollis) 

The white-throated hummingbird is a distinctive medium-sized hummingbird, 10-11.5 cm long, with both sexes displaying mossy golden-green upperparts and a striking bold white throat and belly. The bill is straight, medium-length, with a blackish upper mandible and a red lower mandible tipped with black. This species is distributed across eastern Paraguay, southeastern Brazil, Uruguay, and northeastern Argentina, inhabiting semi-open to open areas like forest edges, marshes, scrublands, parks, and gardens, generally below 1000m elevation. White-throated hummingbirds primarily forage for nectar from a wide variety of native and introduced flowering plants, often visiting feeders. They are mostly sedentary, though some local dispersal occurs. Their breeding season is from October to March, building a cup nest on horizontal branches. They are generally common and adaptable to human-modified habitats. No subspecies are recognised.

🌎 Southern giant hummingbird (Patagona gigas peruviana) 

This subspecies of the southern giant hummingbird (the largest of its kind) has a mostly yellowish brown plumage, a white throat and a notably long, straight bill. Found exclusively in the Andean regions of Peru and Chile, it inhabits high-altitude scrublands and canyons. This powerful flier expertly hovers while feeding on nectar from large flowers, and fiercely defends its territory against rivals. 1 of 2 subspecies.
