Costa's Hummingbird
Calypte costae
Costa's Hummingbird, in the adult male, has metallic green upperparts, pale grayish-white underparts, and greenish sides, with a compact body and short tail. Dusky flight feathers contrast with the green back and dark green tail; the breast and belly lack conspicuous spotting or streaking. An iridescent violet-purple crown and throat patch distinguish the male, with elongated throat feathers projecting outward on each side.
