Fiery-throated Hummingbird

Panterpe insignis

Fiery-throated Hummingbird adults of both sexes have predominantly iridescent green plumage, with a shining blue crown and contrasting dark flight feathers. Unmarked green feathers cover the back and belly, while the wings are dusky, the tail is dark blue, and a blue patch occupies the upper breast. The defining throat feathers shine coppery orange to red, bordered with golden yellow, their apparent color and brilliance changing with the viewing angle.
