The magenta-throated woodstar (''Calliphlox bryantae'') is a hummingbird that is a resident breeder in forest edge and scrub in Costa Rica and western Panama. The long, male magenta-throated woodstar is unmistakable with its magenta throat separated by a white collar from the green chest and flanks. The back is green and the belly is rufous. There are white rump patches, and the black-tipped tail is long and forked. The female is long and lacks the male’s long tail. Her plumage is generally like the male’s but her throat is grey-buff instead of magenta, and the tail sides are rufous. Immature birds are like the female, but paler below and with buff fringes to the upperparts plumage. The male gives a diving display flight alone or in loose groups. His song is a spluttering gurgle, and the call a dry ''chi'' or territorial ''chrrrrt''. These birds usually visit flowers of herbs, trees and scrubs for nectar, cocking their tails as they feed. Its nest is undescribed. ==References== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Magenta-throated woodstar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
