The Brown Inca is a medium-sized hummingbird noted for its duller brown plumage compared to other Incas, with a contrasting white post-ocular spot and a small iridescent throat patch. It is found in humid Andean forests.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid montane forests and forest edges on the Pacific slope of the Andes in Colombia and Ecuador.
How to spot
Identify by its overall brown coloration, the white spot behind the eye, and look for a small iridescent green or blue throat patch, particularly in males.
When to spot
Active during daylight, often feeding at lower to mid-story flowering plants within the forest.

Its relatively subdued plumage allows it to blend remarkably well into the shaded understory of its forest habitat, making it surprisingly difficult to spot despite its size.
