I doubt what species this hummingbird is. I have doubts between green mango and green throated carib. Thanks for any help and sorry for the quality of the shots. It was quite far. All the best

I am not completely sure it is the mango but I cannot make it the Carib.

Thanks, Niels.
I would bet on the mango, but I'm not sure either ...

Both are green mangos, aren't they?

Mango for me. Bill seems too short and straight for the Carib.

Yes, but the carib has a black belly which this doesn't have. So must be green mango

Already in post 2 I stated it could not be the carib. However, I could not remember if there was a third option it could have been.
