Please, check and update, thanks.
Should in my eyes be Eupetomena macroura, although picture #1 looks confusing with the colors. But I can see at the top of the tail some reddish/purple colors which is also seen in some of the links. Please, take a careful look of the links I added and verify yourself. I did not find another one with such a swallow-like tail. http://luis.impa.br/photo/0803_passaros/beija-flor-tesoura_JN-080316-P_18575a.jpg http://luis.impa.br/photo/0803_passaros/beija-flor-tesoura_JN-080316-P_18585a.jpg http://worldbirdinfo.net/Pages/BirdCitationView.aspx?BirdID=34537&Source=%2FPages%2FBirdsSearch.aspx%3FBirdField%3D8%26BirdSearch%3DTROCHILIDAE%253AHummingbirds http://www.birdforum.net/opus/Swallow-tailed_Hummingbird http://www.arthurgrosset.com/sabirds/swallow-tailed%20hummingbird.html Here is the purple part of the tail: http://www.avianweb.com/swallowtailedhummingbirds.html
