Florisuga mellivora
We found these wonderful hummingbirds to be quite common in the Caribbean foothill forests of Costa Rica from 700-1000m in elevation.
Rainforest, forest edge, gardens surrounded by forest.
These little birds can be quite aggressive and when in a combative mood will flare out their brilliant white tails and hold them like broad fans.
