The White-bellied Emerald (*Elliotomyia chionogaster*) is a small to medium-sized hummingbird with iridescent green upperparts that sharply contrast with its clean white belly. It is a relatively common and widespread species.
Where to spot
Primarily found in humid or semi-humid areas including forest edges, clearings, coffee plantations, and gardens across parts of Central and South America.
How to spot
Look for its contrasting white belly against a green back. It frequently perches openly on branches or wires, making it relatively easy to spot. Listen for its high-pitched, often repetitive chirps.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, especially visible at dawn and dusk when foraging for nectar and small insects. It can be seen year-round in its tropical range.
