Purple-throated Sunbird (Leptocoma sperata) - HBW 13, p. 267
French: Souimanga de Hasselt German: Purpurkehl-Nektarvogel Spanish: Suimanga Gorjipúrpura
Other common names: (van) Hasselt’s Sunbird (sperata); Philippine/Luzon/Henke’s Sunbird (henkei); Mindanao Sunbird (juliae)
Taxonomy: Certhia sperata Linnaeus, 1766, Manila, Luzon, Philippines.
Genus often subsumed in Nectarinia. Genus names Leptocoma and Chalcostetha described simultaneously, on consecutive pages of same publication; former has been selected by First Reviser as having precedence (see page 48); type of genus Leptocoma is hasseltii (= brasiliana). Present species possibly forms a superspecies with L. sericea. Geographical plumage variation considerable; races form two groups, “nominate group” (containing Philippine races) and “brasiliana group” (containing other races), and has been suggested that these ..

The sunbirds and spiderhunters make up a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_%28biology%29"]family[/URL], Nectariniidae, of very small [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passerine"]passerine[/URL] [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird"]birds[/URL]. There are 132 species in 15 [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genus"]genera[/URL]. The family is distributed throughout [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Africa"]Africa[/URL], the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Subcontinent"]Indian Subcontinent[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southeast_Asia"]Southeast Asia[/URL] and just reaches northern [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia"]Australia[/URL]. Most sunbirds feed largely on [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nectar"]nectar[/URL], but also take insects and spiders, especially when feeding young. Flower tubes that bar access to nectar because of their shape, are simply punctured at the base near the nectaries. Fruit is also part of the diet of some species. Their [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird_flight"]flight[/URL] is fast and direct on their short wings.
The sunbirds have counterparts in two very distantly related groups: the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hummingbird"]hummingbirds[/URL] of the Americas and the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeyeater"]honeyeaters[/URL] of Australia. The resemblances are due to [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent_evolution"]convergent evolution[/URL] brought about by a similar nectar-feeding lifestyle.[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunbird#cite_note-0"][1][/URL] Some sunbird species can take nectar by hovering like a hummingbird, but usually perch to feed.
