Despite it being one of the most common of the hummingbirds seen at Tarcoles during my visit, this is right near the Southernmost edge of its range. A distinctive species found at lower elevations, particularly associated forests, its terracotta coloured tail, pink beak and pale orange throat are distinctive and make it fairly easy to pick out compared to other species in its range.
