White-bellied Hummingbird
The White-bellied Hummingbird is a species of hummingbird in the Trochilidae family. It is found at forest edge, woodland, scrub and gardens in the Andes, ranging from northern Peru south through Bolivia to north-western Argentina. There are also lowland populations in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, and Mato Grosso, Brazil. It is generally fairly common. Its upperparts are green and its underparts are white. Unlike other similar hummingbirds in its range , the basal half of the inner webs of the rectrices are white, but this is typically only visible from below.

White-bellied Hummingbird Leucippus chionogaster, which is vocally similar, but this record would be well out of range, is too bright dorsally and lacks the white bases of the under-tail characteristic of that species. Mark Pearman who is familiar with White-bellied was able to rule it out. Birds similar to this however may be responsible for previous, unsubstantiated reports of White-bellied Hummingbird in Paraguay. More
