This elegant hummingbird is characterized by its long, straight bill and a shimmering green forehead. It prefers the humid interior of cloud forests, where it quietly forages for nectar.
Where to spot
Primarily found in the humid montane forests of the northern Andes, from Colombia south through Ecuador and northern Peru.
How to spot
Scan the understory and mid-story of dense forest edges. Its long bill and green forehead are distinctive. Look for it hovering methodically while feeding at flowers.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, especially during flowering seasons. Early mornings and late afternoons are often the most productive times for sightings.

Like its close relative, the Blue-fronted Lancebill, its extended bill is a specialized tool, allowing it to extract nectar from tubular flowers inaccessible to many other hummingbird species.
