Sombre Hummingbird

Eupetomena cirrochloris

Near Threatened

The Sombre Hummingbird is a nectar-feeding hummingbird of the Atlantic Forest region of eastern Brazil. It also takes tiny insects and spiders for protein, using fast hovering flight, rapid wingbeats, and a long bill to work flowers and defend feeding areas. It is not yet globally threatened, but range pressure or population trends mean it needs watching.
