Little Sunangel
O beija-flor-anjo-de-peito-pequeno é um pequeno beija-flor das florestas nubladas andinas do sul do Equador e norte do Peru. O macho tem partes superiores verde-brilhante e uma gorjeira iridescente. Alimenta-se do néctar de flores nas florestas nubladas andinas. A fêmea é mais apagada. A distribuição restrita desta espécie torna-a vulnerável à perda de habitat nos Andes equatorianos e peruanos.
