features

The cinnamon flank amazilie reaches a body length of about 10 to 11.5 cm. The male has a straight, medium-sized bill that is bright red with a black tip. The top of the head is blackish, often with an oily green tinge. The neck and the ear covers are bronze green, the rest of the upper side bronze or bronze green with blunt, reddish-brown spots on the arm wings and less noticeable on the central hand wings. The throat and underside are white. The lower sides of the neck are spotted cinnamon; this color continues lighter on the sides of the chest and the flanks. Usually this area is covered by the wings while sitting. The under-tail-coverts often have a subterminal cinnamon-colored marking or wavy stripes. The tail is reddish brown with bronze edges. The female has a dark green skull. The color of the cinnamon-colored face becomes lighter on the sides. The reddish brown of the wings is limited to spots on the umbrella feathers and the inner flags of the arm wings. The inner control springs are bronze-gold, the outer brownish-red and narrow bronze-colored lined. Juvenile cinnamon flank amacilas have a cloudy fore and upper head color, which in male specimens can be blackish green. The new feathers are limited to the base of the cinnamon-colored speckles. The tail is spotted cinnamon, with the base of the central control feathers in the males being purple-copper.

Vocalizations

The call sounding similar to the Grünscheitelamazilie ( Amazilia viridifrons ( Elliot, DG , 1871)). One possible call is a repetitive, quiet, hard rattle of tsssssrk .... chiuk sounds. The singing includes dry chirping and creaking tones.

Reproduction

Data on the breeding behavior and gonadal activities of the cinnamon-flank amazily point to January to February, May and August to October as the breeding season. The birds build their goblet-shaped nest, which they attach with cobwebs 2 to 3 meters above the ground, from plant wool and lichen. A brood consists of two eggs that are often soiled by rain washing away nest material. Only the female takes care of the incubation.

migration

The cinnamon flank amazily is considered to be a resident bird .

distribution and habitat

Distribution area of ​​the cinnamon flank amazilie

The species prefers dry to semi-wet scrub, thorn forests and forests with riparian areas at altitudes between 250 and 900 meters.

Systematics

The species is considered to be monotypical . There is a close relationship degrees to Veilchenscheitelamazilie ( Amazilia violiceps ( Gould before, 1859)). It is also considered to be con-specific with the green-headed amacilia.

Etymology and history of research

Allan Robert Phillips described the cinnamon flank amazily under the name Amazilia wagneri . The type specimen was collected by him in Oaxaca . In 1843 René Primevère Lesson introduced the new generic name Amazilia for the gold - masked hummingbird , the striped - tailed hummingbird , the cinnamon - bellied amazily (syn .: Ornysmia cinnamomea ), the blue-throated star hummingbird (syn .: Ornymia rufula ) and the longuemare sun nymph . He did not mention the rust-bellied amazilia ( Amazilia amazilia ). This name comes from a novel by Jean-François Marmontel , who reported in Les Incas, Ou La Destruction De L'empire Du Pérou, about an Inca heroine named Amazili. The species name is dedicated to Helmuth Otto Wagner , who gave a lot of valuable input to this family.
