2009-08-23 Presa El Salvador (agu), Mexico Subspecies: magicus/latirostris Male. Think 2cy. Even though it is difficult to see the upper mandible for mud or something, it could look like it is black and not red. The shaggy appearance also says none-adult. |

2018-08-30 La Condesa (mi casa en Cd Guzmán), Mexico Subspecies: ? Adult male in fresh plumage, which is easy to see by the pale fringes to the coverts on the breast. A long-awaited guest at my feeder, it took several weeks before it, and now three different individuals finally started to show up. Amusing to follow their different behavior. One always perch on the plastic stick when it feeds, another always stay in the air while doing it, and the third one I'm not sure of yet. A modest activity fully in line with the spirit of my deceased father, and which I hereby intend to continue here in the far away abroad. The photos are taken through a dirty window on the second floor of my house. Coto La Condesa |

2018-09-05 La Condesa (mi casa en Cd Guzmán), Mexico Subspecies: ? Adult male. Have seen 5 males together, but no females, and the first and only other hummer to visit was and still is a Violet-crowned Hummingbird. See 2732, which is the same or one of the other 4 males. The area is isolated from natural habitat in general, making it harder to attract birds. Of course it is impossible to see details in this poor video, but you can still perceive that the tail moves a lot, like a large paint brush, and this behavior apparently is typical for the species, and is very different from the way the Violet-crowned moves its tail, making this an id feature even when you can't see the birds other than in silhouette Coto La Condesa |

2019-06-07 Rancho Primavera (El Tuito - jal), Mexico Subspecies: ? Probably young male. The white vertical ear patch seems too strong for an adult male as do the patchy blue and green plumage on breast and back. |
