Identification
A fantastic little bird that is nearly endemic to northwestern Ecuador, just barely reaching southwestern Colombia. Male’s blue, red, and yellow plumage and brilliant yellow eye are stunning in good light. Female has a similar overall pattern, but blue is replaced with brown. Despite her subdued colors, nothing similar occurs in range. Usually encountered in pairs, often with mixed-species canopy flocks.
