The Black Jacobin Hummingbird (Florisuga fusca),is black and white and is fairly large as far as hummingbirds go. It is found in woodlands and gardens in or near the Atlantic Forest of eastern Brazil, Uruguay, eastern Paraguay, and far north-eastern Argentina.

Both males and females are overall black with a shining bronzy-green-tinged back and wing-coverts, and white lower flanks with white in the tail.

The immature Black Jacobin hummingbird has broad cinnamon bands on the sides of the throat.
