About These Birds
Pink-throated Brilliant
O beija-flor-brilhante-de-garganta-rosada é um beija-flor pouco conhecido das encostas andinas do Equador e Peru. O macho tem partes superiores verde-brilhante e uma gorjeira rosada-iridescente. Alimenta-se do néctar de flores na floresta nublada andina. A informação sobre o seu comportamento e ecologia é escassa. A perda de habitat nas florestas das encostas andinas constitui uma ameaça para esta espécie de distribuição restrita.
