Where to spot
Found in humid montane forests and forest edges in the Andes of Colombia and Ecuador.
How to spot
Look for it visiting flowers in the forest understory. Its small size, white tail tips, and rufous vent are key identification features, often requiring a good view.
When to spot
Year-round. Most active during the day, especially in the early mornings and late afternoons when nectar resources are most abundant.
