Black-throated Mango (Anthracothorax nigricollis)

Very distant, had to crop a lot.

When I saw this little hummer up this tree from a long distance I first thought it was either a glittering-throated or a glittering bellied emerald, which are the most common small hummers around here.

But when looking in my PC and with some external help, It turns out it is actually a Black-throated Mango, a lifer for me.
