Hylocharis pyropygia |
The flame-rumped sapphire (Hylocharis pyropygia) is a doubtfully valid species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae known only from Brazil. Today few authorities accept it as valid, instead believing it represents a hybrid between Chlorostilbon lucidus and Hylocharis cyanus.
