Description
The black jacobin (Florisuga fusca), previously placed in the monotypic Melanotrochilus, is a species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae. It is found in or near the Atlantic Forest of eastern Brazil, Uruguay, eastern Paraguay, and far north-eastern Argentina. It is generally common, and therefore considered to be of least concern by BirdLife International and consequently the IUCN. Adults of both sexes are overall black with green-tinged back and wing-coverts, and white lower flanks and outer rectrices. The white in the tail is often flashed conspicuously in flight. The commonly seen immatures, sometimes incorrectly referred to as "females", have a distinctive rufous patch in the malar region.

Feeding Habits
Black Jacobin primarily feeds on nectar and invertebrates. It exhibits specialized feeding behaviors to access nectar, often hovering like a hummingbird. Black Jacobin has a preference for feeding on various flowering plants and utilizes its unique adaptations to exploit these food sources efficiently.
Habitat
The black Jacobin primarily inhabits the lush Atlantic Forest region, adapting well to various wooded landscapes. Its habitat ranges from lower altitudes to mountainous areas reaching 1400 meters. Despite being commonly associated with dense, verdant forests, black Jacobin demonstrates versatility by also occupying gardens, mixed plantations with tall trees, and occasionally visiting the cerrado savannas and campos rupestres during specific seasons. These birds forage in various strata, from the forest floor to the canopy and are not averse to the edges of their forested homes.
