A bird of the family Trochilidae. 2, record 1, English, - Alfaro%26rsquo%3Bs%20hummingbird
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
This unique specimen has been treated (Stiles and Skutch 1989, AOU 1998) as a subspecies of Amazilia cyanifrons (Bourcier 1843) following Carriker (1910). Weller (2001) thinks that the specimen was missexed, and that it is a distinct species because of color and size characters that do not quite match either A. cyanifrons [Amazilia cyanifrons] or A. saucerrottei [Amazilia saucerrottei]. The possibility of hybrid origin has not been ruled out convincingly. 1, record 1, English, - Alfaro%26rsquo%3Bs%20hummingbird
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 OBS
In English scientific usage, all elements of names of bird species require capital letters except for hyphenated adjectives where the second word is not capitalized, for example, Black-crowned Night Heron. 3, record 1, English, - Alfaro%26rsquo%3Bs%20hummingbird
