Outcrop Sabrewing (Campylopterus calcirupicola)
About the Outcrop Sabrewing
The outcrop sabrewing or dry-forest sabrewing (Campylopterus calcirupicola) is a vulnerable species of hummingbird in the "emeralds", tribe Trochilini of subfamily Trochilinae. It is endemic to eastern Brazil. What is now the outcrop sabrewing was treated as part of the diamantinensis subspecies of the grey-breasted sabrewing (Campylopterus largipennis). In a 2017 paper Lopes et al. provided convincing evidence that both the outcrop sabrewing and diamantinensis sensu stricto deserved species status. The South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society and worldwide taxonomic systems agreed, recognizing the outcrop and Diamantina sabrewings. Both are monotypic.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 11 recordings for this species: 11 CC BY-NC-SA. 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.
