The Green-throated Mango is a beautiful hummingbird closely related to other 'mango' species, distinguished by its vibrant green throat, which contrasts with its overall iridescent green and purplish-black body.
Where to spot
Primarily found in northeastern South America, including parts of the Guianas, Venezuela, and northern Brazil, inhabiting savannas, open woodlands, and coastal areas.
How to spot
Differentiate it from the Black-throated Mango by its predominantly green throat and upper breast, which transitions into a black central belly stripe. Look for it perched conspicuously in open areas.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, often seen visiting flowering trees and shrubs or at hummingbird feeders, particularly in the cooler parts of the day.

The Green-throated Mango's specific name, `viridigula`, directly translates to 'green throat,' perfectly describing one of its most prominent and distinguishing identification features.
