So I got both male and female, huh? Not bad, I think. So, the one in the link bellow is wrong too? http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7053487

You are correct with genus and special! Congrats! Unfortunately you got the one from Peru/Bolivia, which is indeed Cherubina. Your guy would be Doxocopa laurentia laurentia. I a mean really "guy", because in the link above you have some more infos about the species and a nice lady...
