A striking hummingbird found in the humid montane forests of the Andes, known for its iridescent plumage and active feeding habits. Males display a brilliant purple gorget that shimmers intensely.
Where to spot
Humid montane forests and forest borders in the eastern Andes, primarily across Colombia, Ecuador, and northern Peru.
How to spot
Look for it at flowering plants, especially those with tubular blossoms, in the understory or mid-story. Its distinctive purring flight sound can often give away its presence.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, particularly during early morning and late afternoon when foraging for nectar and small insects.
