Heliomaster longirostris

Least Concern

About

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. Found from Mexico through Central America and into tropical South America east of the Andes at elevations up to 1,500 meters. 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.
