This spectacular hummingbird is known for its incredible iridescent plumage, featuring a bright green head and chest bordered by a striking black scalloped pattern. It is a specialist of the campos rupestres in Brazil.
Where to spot
Endemic to a very restricted range within the campos rupestres of southeastern Brazil, primarily in the state of Bahia.
How to spot
Look for it in the same specialized rocky grassland habitat as the Hooded Visorbearer. Its distinctive scalloped pattern is unmistakable. It can be found feeding at various flowers and often perches openly.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round, but activity peaks during the flowering periods of its favored plants. Best observation times are early mornings and late afternoons.
