Amazilia saucerrottei hoffmanni
Thank you to FaredinAliyevski for the ID of this beautiful Hummingbird. It is so nice that after all this time I finally got an ID.
Blue-vented Hummingbird (Amazilia saucerrottei hoffmanni or A. hoffmanni, syn. A. sophiae - Cabanis & Heine, 1860) Range: Western Nicaragua and west and central Costa Rica.
Thank you so much, FaredinAliyevski.
I have been searching for the ID of this beauty for a year without luck, thank you so very much.
Hi Gilma, your beautiful hummingbird looks like it's from a species divided into 4 different subspecies depending on their range and the one I suggested is the only one found in Costa Rica. But please verify it, the tail should have a slight 'V' shape but can't see from your photos and if you have more photos of this bird then please check the tail shape. If it has the V shape then it's the right species for sure.
Wold anyone her can ID this gorgeous Hummingbird?
Thank you extrebirder, I checked some of the pictures and the Green Violet-ear Hummingbirds do not have the bright blue tail, perhaps some do but I can not find them?
I have more Hummingbird spottings is there anyone there that could help?
