Thank you very, very much to Carol Foil (dermoidhome) for the identification of this hummingbird!

White-vented Violet-ear (Colibri serrirostris)
This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence 30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.

Beija-flor-de-orelha-violeta
O Beija-flor-de-orelha-violeta é ave apodiforme da família Trochilidae. Também conhecido como beija-flor-do-canto.
Mede cerca de 12,1 cm de comprimento.
Habita cerrados, restingas, paisagens abertas e planaltos acima da linha das florestas. Emite seu canto ao pôr-do-sol. No outono migra localmente das regiões mais altas para os vales.

Segundo minha pesquisa, realizada no livro de John S. Dunning, "South American Land Birds: a photografic aid to identification", página 34, este é o Beija-flor-de-orelha-violeta ou, em inglês, White-vented Violetear (Colibri serrirostris).
The White-vented Violetear is a common hummingbird in its range and habitat. Its range is from Central Brazil and Bahia to northern Argentina, central Paraguay and Bolivia. Its habitat is semi-open scrub and savanna.
Underparts are yellow-green with a blue shimmer while the undertail coverts or vent is white.
The White-vented Violetear is territorial and aggressively defends the flowers on which it feeds. Its alternative name of "Singing Hummingbird" comes from the fact that it sings all day when perched.
Its scientific name derives from the Spanish for hummingbird - "Colibri" and "serri" meaning saw with "rostris" meaning bill alluding to the fact that its upper mandible has minute serrations on it.
