synonyms = The Pale-Tailed Barbthroat ("Threnetes leucurus") is a species ofhummingbird in theTrochilidae family.It is found in theAmazon Basin proper and bordering countries,Brazil ,Bolivia ,Colombia ,Ecuador ,Peru ,French Guiana ,Guyana ,Suriname , andVenezuela .Its naturalhabitat s are subtropical or tropical moist lowlandforest s and subtropical or tropicalswamp s.The taxonomy of the "Threnetes leucurus/T. niger" complex has caused much confusion in recent years: Schuchmann & Hinkelmann (1999) considered the Sooty Barbthroat a
melanistic variant of "T. leucurus", but as it was described first, itsscientific name was adopted for the entire species; Pale-tailed Barbthroat ("T. niger"). This, however, has not been accepted by all authorities, notably SACC, which consider both "T. niger" and "T. leucurus" as valid species.ource
