Spotted
A medium-sized hummingbird with a striking golden-green throat and a distinctive green tail. Its body plumage is mostly iridescent green.
Where to spot
Inhabits open and semi-open habitats, forest edges, savannas, and gardens in northern and central South America (e.g., Colombia, Venezuela, Brazil).
How to spot
Look for its bright golden-green throat and green tail. It often perches conspicuously and visits a wide variety of flowers, including those in cultivated areas, making it easier to spot.
When to spot
Active throughout the year during daylight hours. Most visible during peak flowering seasons, particularly in the mornings when nectar is most abundant.

The 'goldenthroat' refers to the male's highly iridescent gorget which shimmers with golden-green hues in good light, a key feature for display.
