Broad-billed Hummingbird (Cynanthus latirostris) Hummingbirds (Trochilidae)
dk: Mexicansk Brednæbskolibri es: Colibrí Pico Ancho
	2749 (1 videos) 2018-09-05 Coto La Condesa, Cd. Guzmán, Jalisco (Jal), 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
