Perichares philetes species complex
Perichares is the genus. Several reputable web resources suggest there is a complex that needs to be sorted out taxonomically, and one site mentioned Ecuador individuals as being especially problematic. Maybe just best to label this one Perichares philetes species complex.
This beautiful Ruby-eye was perched in cloud forest habitat, not far from the Tandayapa River.
