Archilochus alexandri
Adults are metallic green above and white below with green flanks. Their bill is long, straight and very slender. The adult male has a black face and chin, a glossy purple throat band and a dark forked tail. The female has a dark rounded tail with white tips and no throat patch; they are similar to female Ruby-throated Hummingbirds.
I took this picture at Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, located northeast of Naples, Florida, in Collier County.
I'm not a 100% if this the right species. I would love to hear if I'm wrong and to know the right specie name for this hummingbird
