Berylline Hummingbird, Saucerottia beryllina, is a hummingbird of Middle America, breeding from north-west Mexico to Honduras. It lives mainly in arid country and uses dense oak and pine-oak forest, scrub, deciduous and thorn forest, gallery forest, plantations, parks and gardens. It occurs from near sea level up into the submontane zone, though it is most often found between 500 and 1,800 m. The species was formerly placed in Amazilia, but most taxonomic systems now place it in Saucerottia. Its range also includes El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico and the United States.
