Spotted
The Rufous-breasted Hermit is a common and widespread hummingbird, easily identifiable by its prominent rufous (reddish-brown) underside and long, slightly decurved bill. It has characteristic white-tipped tail feathers.
Where to spot
Widely distributed across Central and South America, from Honduras to Brazil and Bolivia. It inhabits humid lowlands, preferring forest undergrowth, edges, and clearings.
How to spot
Look for its distinct rufous belly and a moderately decurved bill. It often forages low to the ground, moving quickly between flowers. Listen for its characteristic high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Active all day, continuously visiting flowers in the forest undergrowth and edges. It is a resident species, observable year-round.

Despite its scientific name 'hirsutus' (hairy), which refers to the bristly feathers around its bill, its most defining feature for identification is its rufous belly.
