The Bronzy Inca is a large, robust hummingbird characterized by its overall bronzy-green plumage, often appearing dark, with a distinctive white spot behind the eye. It inhabits humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Found in humid montane forests, cloud forests, and forest edges across the Andes, ranging from Venezuela to Bolivia.
How to spot
Look for its relatively large size, overall dark bronzy-green plumage, and the small but noticeable white post-ocular spot. It often feeds at mid-to-high levels within the forest.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, visiting a wide variety of flowers, particularly those with long corollas, for nectar.

Despite its 'bronzy' name, its plumage can look quite dark or even black in poor light, only revealing its true metallic sheen when illuminated by good sunlight.
