About These Birds

Pink-throated Brilliant

El colibrí brillante de garganta rosada es un colibrí poco conocido de las estribaciones andinas de Ecuador y Perú. El macho tiene partes superiores verdes brillantes y un gorjal rosado iridiscente. Se alimenta del néctar de flores en el bosque nublado andino. La información sobre su comportamiento y ecología es escasa. La pérdida de hábitat en los bosques de las estribaciones andinas supone una amenaza para esta especie de distribución restringida.

A small hummingbird (8-10 cm plus tail rackets) found in Andean cloud forests of southeastern Peru and Bolivia at 1,200-2,200 m. Males have rufous leg puffs instead of white. Recently split from Booted Racket-tail. Nectarivore of montane forest undergrowth.
