Where to spot

Endemic to the Atlantic Forest biome of southeastern Brazil. It prefers humid forests, forest edges, and secondary growth.

How to spot

Look for a medium-sized, dark hummingbird with a slightly decurved bill, often perched in shaded areas or darting quickly between flowers. Its dark coloration is a key identifier in its range.

When to spot

Active during daylight hours, foraging at flowers in the understory and mid-story of its forest habitat. It is a resident species, observable year-round.
