How to spot
Identify by its small size, uniformly dark brown to blackish plumage, and slender, decurved bill. Its high-altitude habitat preference helps distinguish it. Look for it actively feeding in flowering trees and shrubs. Listen for thin, high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Active during daylight hours, foraging for nectar and small insects. As a resident species within its specific montane habitat, it can be observed year-round.
