Rosenkehlkolibri

A large, distinctive hummingbird with an unusually long, straight bill, males display a striking iridescent green gorget with a prominent white post-ocular spot — the starthroat mark that names the species.

They inhabit forest edges, clearings, and gardens, perching conspicuously on exposed branches at the tops of trees — unusual for hummingbirds that typically forage while hovering.
