Glittering-bellied Emerald (Chlorostilbon lucidus) - 15Aug2022

Its easy to get your glittering hummingbirds (glittering-bellied and glittering-throated) mixed-up when visiting Brazil, but thankfully they prefer different habitats.  The Glittering-bellied prefers open habitats like savannah with some small trees and shrubs.  We saw ours in Chapada dos Guimaraes.

The female is actually easier to ID with this one.


The male looks more like the male Glittering-throated but again thankfully they prefer different habitats.
