The Coppery-naped Puffleg is a small hummingbird distinguished by its coppery-bronze nape and throat, which contrast with its green body and white leg puffs. It prefers humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Found in humid montane forests and forest borders, primarily in the Andes of Bolivia and northwestern Argentina.
How to spot
Identify by the combination of its coppery nape, green body plumage, and characteristic white leg puffs. Its small size is also a useful identification clue.
When to spot
Observable during daylight hours, frequently visiting flowers, especially in the early morning and late afternoon.

Despite its common name, the 'coppery' color on its nape can sometimes appear more golden, reddish-brown, or even slightly greenish depending on the lighting conditions.
