Green-throated Mango
Anthracothorax viridigula (Boddaert, 1783)
Trochilidae — Hummingbirds
Green-throated Mango, Anthracothorax viridigula, is a hummingbird of northeastern Venezuela, the Guianas and north-eastern Brazil. It is also recorded from Trinidad. In its range it uses mangrove swamp, moist lowland savannas and other swampy places with scattered large trees. The bird is a coastal resident, while inland birds shift seasonally with tree flowering. It is a member of the family Trochilidae and was described by Boddaert in 1783. The species is often hard to separate from the black-throated mango, especially in the field, because the two can look very similar.
