Records for
GREEN-BREASTED MANGO
(Anthracothorax prevostii)

in North America

STATUS: . Female and immature Green-breasted Mangos can be confused with Black-throated Mango in that both species have long ventrally- located dark central stripes. Initially, the first US record in Texas (see below) was accepted only as "mango sp.". However, research by J. Arvin demonstrates that such mangos can be safely identified if blue/green iridescence is seen in the central stripe. (TBRC 1995 Report)
