The Tawny-bellied Hermit is a medium-sized hermit hummingbird recognized by its distinctive tawny or rufous underparts, which contrast with its bronzy-green back. It typically inhabits moist montane forests.
Where to spot
Inhabits humid montane and cloud forests, forest borders, and dense secondary growth in the Andes of South America, primarily from southern Colombia to Bolivia.
How to spot
Search for it near flowering plants in the forest mid-story to understory. Its distinctive tawny belly is a key identification feature when glimpsed in flight or while perched.
When to spot
Active throughout the day, particularly in the cooler early morning and late afternoon hours when foraging activity tends to be higher.

Like other hermits, this species specializes in 'trap-lining,' following a regular route to visit scattered flowers, ensuring efficient nectar collection throughout its territory.
