Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

Endangered hummingbird with a small range in the northern part of Colombia’s eastern Andes and in the San Lucas Mountains. Note the reddish-orange belly and bright rusty tail. Females and younger birds are duller than adult males and might be confused with Rufous-tailed Hummingbird, but lack green on the flanks. Inhabits lighter woodland and forest edge, and generally avoids dense forest.
