Not sure
According to Wikipedia, adult Scintillant Hummingbird in its entire range has a brilliant red throat separated from the cinnamon underparts by a white neck band. Volcano Hummingbird in the Talamanca range, has a grey-purple throat, the rest of the underparts being white. By throat description, this bird would be a Volcano Hummingbird but the underparts point to a Scintillant Hummingbird.
