A medium-sized, strikingly colored hummingbird, with males sporting a brilliant garnet-red throat and a contrasting blackish belly. It primarily prefers humid montane forests.
Where to spot
Found in humid pine-oak and cloud forests at high elevations (typically 1,200 to 3,000 meters) in southern Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.
How to spot
Look for the distinctive combination of the iridescent garnet throat and a solid black belly. Males frequently perch on exposed branches, providing good views of their gorget.
When to spot
A year-round resident, active throughout the day, often visiting flowering trees and shrubs at forest edges or clearings.
