White-throated Mountain-gem - a photo on Flickriver

White-throated Mountain-gem

The White-throated Mountain-gem is endemic to the highlands of southern Central America. Rather remarkably, given the species’ small range, it comprises two subspecies—the nominate of western Panama and L. c. cinereicauda of southern Costa Rica—which differ primarily in tail pattern. The nominate male has a dark green tail with a bluish-black subterminal band, whereas Costa Rican males have an entirely gray tail. Differences between females are more subtle: in Costa Rica, females have a dull bronzy green tail, whilst in Panama they have a darker bronzy-green tail with a prominent subterminal band. In the latter country, females of this species closely resemble females of Purple-throated Mountain-gem (Lampornis calolaemus). doi.org/10.2173/bow.wtmgem1.02
