About

El jacobino nuquiblanco (Florisuga mellivora) es un colibrí grande y vistosamente marcado del bosque húmedo de tierras bajas y piedemonte, desde el sur de México por Centroamérica hasta el occidente de la Amazonía. Los machos tienen una cabeza azul oscura brillante, pecho blanco brillante y cola con puntas blancas, creando un llamativo contraste monocromático. Las hembras muestran un inusual polimorfismo de plumaje — algunas se parecen a los machos, adaptación que se cree reduce el acoso masculino. Son especialistas del borde forestal y el dosel, alimentándose en árboles en flor y epífitas.
