Broad-billed Hummingbird 753    (2 photos)
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.

Broad-billed Hummingbird 2732    (10 photos)
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.

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.


Broad-billed Hummingbird 3081    (1 photos)
2019-06-07    Rancho Primavera (El Tuito - jal), Mexico

Subspecies: ?
Female, and probably young because of the completely black upper mandible, where adult female shows red at least at the base.

2019-06-07    Rancho Primavera (El Tuito - jal), Mexico

Subspecies: ?
