Small hummingbird found only in cloud forest in Colombia’s Santa Marta Mountains. Both sexes have a large, white teardrop behind the eye and pale tips to the tail. Male also has a chestnut crown. Feeds at patches of small flowers at relatively low levels. Males gather loosely in favored display areas, where they perch and sing a long series of soft chips.
