- King of contrast - (2)

Black Jacobin / Florisuga fusca

Portuguese: Beija flor preto e branco

 

Even with not-so-interesting colors, this black and white hummingbird was captured in very charming poses.

If seen in large you may notice that it has some feathers in iridescent colors. I do not know if it is because it is still young or if it will have them in "adulthood" :))

 

Found at the edge of the forest, capoeira, gardens, banana trees, often in tall treetops. He seems to stand more in the air than the other hummingbirds, always displaying their contrasting colors.
