Heliangelus exortis
iridescent red throat and bluish/light green iridescent body
cloudforest, 2400m
I spotted this near a hummingbird feeder in Acaime natural reserve in the Cocora Valley.
Thanks a lot Kunzah, glad to see you back. I knew it was just a matter of time.
Great spotting, Dan. Love the second shot especially.
PS - look who got her account back!
Thanks for the suggestion Liam, but I'm not sure it's that either. This one has a green iridescent patch on its head, not as purple as your suggestion and also has the red throat I don't see in the Velvet -purple coronet. Thanks Keith and Stian. I wish I had 2400mm for my camera Jack!
