The Bronze-tailed Plumeleteer is a medium-sized hummingbird named for the striking iridescent bronze-green or coppery sheen on its tail feathers. It is a widespread species across parts of Central and South America.
Where to spot
Found from southeastern Honduras south through Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, and into western Colombia and northwestern Ecuador, typically in humid lowland and foothill forests.
How to spot
Look for it feeding at flowering trees and shrubs in forest edges, clearings, and disturbed areas. The metallic tail coloration is a key identification feature, especially in good light.
When to spot
Resident year-round throughout its extensive range. Observation is often best during the morning and late afternoon.
