Loddiges’ Plover-crest (Cephalepis Loddigesi), John Gould The specific name of Loddigesi was given to this bird by myself in 1830, when characterizing a specimen said to have been sent from Rio Grande. This illustration has been restored to its original vibrancy by enhancing colors and removing unwanted marks. A monograph of the Trochilidæ, or family of humming-birds was published between 1849 and 1887 by English ornithologist John Gould. This monumental work depicts and describes all the known species of hummingbirds at the time - comprising 418 lithographic plates and information on 537 species."
