A distinctive hummingbird known for the scattered white spots or specks on its underparts, giving it a unique mottled appearance. It has a mostly green upper body.
Where to spot
Found in humid montane forests and their edges, as well as clearings and shrubby areas in the eastern Andes of South America (e.g., Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia).
How to spot
Look for its unique speckled underparts, which are the primary identification feature. It often perches upright on a branch and can be seen visiting flowers at various heights.
When to spot
Observable year-round during daylight hours. Best times are early morning and late afternoon when foraging activity is high.
