The green-crowned plovercrest (Stephanoxis lalandi) is a species of hummingbird. It is endemic to Brazil, where it has a large range but is considered to be uncommon.[1] Like most if not all hummingbirds, their diet consists of arthropods and nectar, and males will form leks with other males in order to attract females.[2] [3]
