The Rufous-winged Pampa is a striking medium to large-sized hummingbird, easily identified by its prominent rufous (reddish-brown) primary wing feathers and mostly green body. It is often found in montane forests and clearings.
Where to spot
Primarily found in the humid montane forests of southern Mexico and parts of Guatemala. It favors forest edges, clearings, and coffee plantations, typically at middle to high elevations.
How to spot
Look for its distinctive rufous wings, especially noticeable in flight or when perched. The rest of its body is primarily green. Males may have a slightly decurved bill. Listen for its distinctive flight sounds and high-pitched calls.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, but particularly vigorous in its foraging during the cooler morning and late afternoon periods. It is a resident species in its range, observable year-round.

Like other Pampa hummingbirds (formerly Saberwings), it exhibits a 'saberwing' characteristic where the outer primary feathers are stiffened and broadened, creating an audible whirring or buzzing sound during flight.
