About the Green-bellied Hummingbird

The green-bellied hummingbird (Saucerottia viridigaster) is a species of hummingbird in the "emeralds" tribe Trochilini of subfamily Trochilinae. It is found in Colombia and Venezuela. The green-bellied hummingbird was formerly placed in the genus Amazilia. A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 found that the genus Amazilia was polyphyletic. In the revised classification to create monophyletic genera, the green-bellied hummingbird was moved by most taxonomic systems to the resurrected genus Saucerottia.
