The olive-spotted hummingbird (Talaphorus chlorocercus) is a species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae. It is the only species placed in the genus Talaphorus. It is found in western Brazil, Ecuador, Peru and far southeastern Colombia.
Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist shrubland.
This hummingbird was previously placed in the genus Leucippus. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that Leucippus was polyphyletic. To avoid the polyphyly the olive-spotted hummingbird was moved to the resurrected genus Talaphorus.[3][4][5]
Description
The olive-spotted hummingbird is 8 cm (3.1 in) in length, dull metallic green above, crown slightly browner, with a white postocular spot. It is whitish below, throat with a few olive spots, sides washed greenish. Tail green with grayish tips on outer feathers.[6]
