Taxonomy
Five subspecies are recognized[1]:
- E.m. macroura
Guianas to northern, central and southeastern Brazil and Paraguay
- E.m. simoni
Northeastern Brazil (southern Maranhao, Piauí and Ceara to Minas Gerais)
- E.m. cyanoviridis
Southeastern Brazil (Serra do Mar in southern Sao Paulo)
- E.m. hirundo
Eastern Peru(Huiro)
- E.m. boliviana
Savanna of northwestern Bolivia(Beni)
Some authorities place this species in the genus Campylopterus.
Habitat
Lowland semi-open habitat.
Behaviour
The diet includes nectar and insects.
The nest is a cup-shaped made of plant fibres, lichen, mosses, and spider webs, which is placed on a horizontal twig. 2 eggs are laid and incubated for 15 days, and the chicks fledge after 22-24 days.
