Clades: Phaethornithinae - Hermits
The Saw-billed Hermit is an endemic hummingbird in Brazil. They are 14 to 16 cm (5.5 to 6.3 in) long and weigh 5.3 to 9 g (0.19 to 0.32 oz).
They are large, strikingly patterned hummingbirds that live in the Atlantic Forest understory, but also frequent feeders along forest edges. Observe the bicolored bill with a hooked tip, pale eyebrow, and orange throat bleed into the pinstriped breast. There are orange sides to the tail. With a shorter and more curved bill, the female is slightly smaller than the male.
