Hummingbirds (Trochilidae)
Many-spotted Hummingbird (Leucippus hypostictus) - HBW 5, p. 593
French: Colibri grivelé
German: Tropfenkolibri
Spanish: Colibrí Moteado
Taxonomy: Aphantochroa hyposticta Gould, 1862, Ecuador.
Sometimes placed in monospecific genus Taphrospilus; alternatively, in past, sometimes placed with L. taczanowskii and L. chlorocercus in Talaphorus. Proposed race peruvianus fits well into overall pattern of variation within the species, so subspecific status cannot be maintained. Monotypic.
Distribution: E Andes in E Ecuador, E Peru and C & SE Bolivia to SW Brazil (W Mato Grosso) and NW Argentina.
