Spotted
A very rare and little-known thorntail hummingbird, distinguished by its coppery or reddish-bronze plumage. Its exact range and habits are still poorly understood, making any sighting significant.
Where to spot
Believed to inhabit humid montane forests, possibly in the Andean foothills of Bolivia or southern Peru. Its range is highly uncertain and subject to ongoing research.
How to spot
This bird is incredibly difficult to find. Any potential sighting should be thoroughly documented with location, habitat details, and detailed descriptions or photos. Research on known historical locations might be a starting point for dedicated expeditions.
When to spot
Due to its extreme rarity, there are no specific 'best times'; any observation would be a remarkable event. It is active during daylight hours like other hummingbirds.
