El macho presenta partes superiores verde brillante y una llamativa banda pectoral iridiscente. Se alimenta del néctar de flores en los bosques nublados y matorrales del bosque andino. La hembra es más apagada. La deforestación en su área de distribución restringida es una preocupación para la conservación.
