Hyacinth Visorbearer (Augastes scutatus)
About the Hyacinth Visorbearer
The hyacinth visorbearer (Augastes scutatus) is a species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae. It is endemic to Brazil. The hyacinth visorbearer shares its genus with only one other species, the hooded visorbearer (A. lumachella). It has three subspecies, the nominate A. s. scutatus, A. s. ilseae, and A. s. soaresi. The subspecies are very similar and "might be better treated as monotypic.".

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 29 recordings for this species: 25 CC BY-NC-SA · 4 CC BY-NC-ND. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
