The green mango (Anthracothorax viridis) is a large species of hummingbird endemic to the main island of Puerto Rico. It is usually found in the mountainous regions of the island, often in coffee and other kind of plantations. They usually feed on the nectar found in Heliconia flowers. Their feather coloration is mainly solid dark green with a dark blue and black tail, but solid purple-black birds are common. Females are less glossy at direct illumination. Also, females has very small white tips at the tail ends .

Taken at my backyard with my Canon 7D2 and a POS, obsolete, Bigmos.

hi Oscar, when I think of green mango, I think of the sour fruit that is eaten raw, in salads, chutneys, etc, It is very popular in my native country India.
Never knew that these beauties are also called the same.
lovely pics and thanks for sharing.
