Dear all,
This is a bird I photographed at Hotel Minca. I think it is Steely-vented Hummingbird, but I would like confirmation or the opposite. The main contenders are
Shiny-green Hummingbird which I feel should show longer tail (especially outer tail feathers) and probably a different tone to the wing coverts.
Red-billed Emerald which I do not think would show the whitish socks.
So confirmation or not? (I have more photos but all showing essentially the same angle).
thanks
Niels
