What is the largest hummingbird?

From Birds-Zoom School-Enchanted Learning Software (http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/birds/) --

The biggest hummingbird is the Giant Hummingbird of South America; it weighs 20 grams. The smallest hummingbird (and also the smallest bird) is the Bee Hummingbird, which is about the size of a bee!
