Phaethornis bourcieri
- 14.2 × 9.4 mm (estimated)
- Its colour follows its family (the eggs of all its relatives are alike); we haven't found a description of this species' own egg yet. Speculative: we haven't found documented measurements of this egg yet, so we estimated its size from related birds.
Breeds in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, Venezuela
Plain white, as in all hummingbird eggs (we haven't found a description of this species' own egg yet).
