Observation details
Incredible cute hummer, regional endemic. Lifer. Saw 4 different males, getting great looks at 3 of them. One we detected by its song, and two others had their territories staked out by Arnoldo. A cute round gordito hummer, so fat and lindo. Likes to choose perches on small twigs coming out of bushes, where it sits and sings, flashing its widespread pink gorget. Tiny, very round, white post oc spot, flared bright pink gorget, green above but when catches the sun ranges from bronze to blue-green above. Pale rufous flanks, got great looks at the tail pattern - central retrices all green, outer ones all rufous with paler tip and broad black subterminal band. He flies just like the Sparkling-tailed, smooth and slow like a bug.
