Excerpt: The Swallow-tailed Hummingbird (Eupetomena macroura) is a species in the hummingbird family (Trochilidae), found mainly in east-central South America. Most authorities place it in the monotypic genus Eupetomena, although some place it in Campylopterus based on song and the thick shafts of the males' first primaries. Its common name and specific name (which means "large-tailed") refer to the long, deeply forked, somewhat swallow-like tail. Showing forked tail. Photographed in Piraju, São Paulo, BrazilWith a total length of 15-17 cm (6-61/2 in), nearly half of which is made up by the tail, and weighing up to 9 g (0.32 oz), this is a relatively large hummingbird. Indeed, in much of its range it is the largest species of typical hummingbird. Its wings are also nearly 8 cm long - quite much for its size by hummingbird standards -, though its bill is only of mediocre length,.
