Observation details

Stunning male with gorgeous electric magenta-lilac gorget shifting more pinkish-burgundy at some angles and more true purple at others. Iridescence on gorget extending all the way up the throat to meet the base of the bill at the chin, unlike BCHU. Shape of gorget very similar to BCHU but with a slight flare to the corners. Same color of iridescence present on crown in extensive patches. Intermediate between BCHU and ANHU in almost every other way in addition to the gorget/crown, with a bill much shorter than a pure BCHU with a very slight curve to it, similar to an ANHU but slightly longer and more curved. Wings just shorter than the tail, with the tail extending just past the wingtips. Clean white half-collar contrasting with the gorget and blending into the pale greenish-gray underparts. Calls with a sweet quality like BCHU, but distinctly sharper/harsher than the pure BCHUs around. Digibins/digiscopes for now, better photos to come in the future.
