General:
The fiery-tailed awlbill is an uncommon bird native to Brazil, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela and can be found in drier habitats such as savannas, forest edges, and dry zones on large granite outcrops.[3] The main distinction between this bird and other hummingbirds is its bill that is slightly curved upwards at the tip.[3] This species displays sexual dimorphism in color, with males being fully dark green with a black streak near their abdomen while females have a white underbelly that is marked with black line down the middle.[3][4] They typically measure 3.1-4 inches (8-10cm) and are often confused with black-throated mango hummingbirds (Anthracothorax nigricollis).[4] However, they can be differentiated by looking for a curve in the beak . Other names for the fiery-tailed waybill around the world include mango picolezna, colibri avocette, and schwarzbauch-avosettkolibri. [4]
