Veraguan Mango
Anthracothorax veraguensis Reichenbach, 1855
Trochilidae — Hummingbirds
Veraguan Mango, Anthracothorax veraguensis, is a hummingbird of the Pacific lowlands from south-west Costa Rica, in Puntarenas, to central Panama, including Chiriquí and southern Coclé. It was first described by Reichenbach in 1855. The bird is linked to the Veraguas region of Panama, where it was first found, and it was once treated as part of the Green-breasted Mango. It is now recognised separately, with the absence of black plumage on the throat and underside helping to set it apart.
