a species of hummingbird (see Hunn, attestations)
TLE-HUĪTZIL-IN, a species of hummingbird (Trochilidae) [FC: 25 Tlevitzili]: “its feathers are glistening, resplendent.” Martin del Campo identified this bird as the Allen’s Hummingbird (Selasphorus sasin). However, this is most unlikely, as Allen’s and Rufous Hummingbirds are virtually identical, especially when not males in full adult plumage. There are many other species of local hummingbirds that are far more “resplendent” than the Allen’s, too many to hazard a reasonable guess.
