Rufous-booted Racket-tail Ocreatus addae

Tiny cloud forest hummingbird found in the eastern Andes from central Peru to Bolivia. Male’s distinctive tail feathers cross each other and splay out in a V shape. Female can be identified by her small size, buffy thighs and vent, spotted underparts, and white whisker. May overlap with Peruvian Racket-tail in central Peru; male Rufous-booted has a twisted (not straight) tail. Females of the two species look almost identical. Typically feeds at small flowers at forest edge or in clearings, and sometimes visits feeders.
